Sure, and that's why Facebook and Instagram and Pinterest and friends use mainframes, right? Sorry, that assertion no longer passes the smell test.' As for being more secure--again, not necessarily. Possibly still more securABLE but none of it is majick, and plenty of non-mainframe systems are robust and secure. My point is not to pick a fight with you, sir, but to note that sticking to past statements that clearly no longer fit the facts actually hurt the mainframe rather than helping it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of william janulin Sent: Saturday, March 1, 2025 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: The mainframe is alive True but one mainframe box can handle far more transactions that a row of open systems servers can. Plus it is a lot more secure from hackers.
