I predict that one day everyone on Earth will be connected to one giant IBM Mainframe and all share in the payment! Of course, I passed on a job at Microsoft when there were 18 people working there because I didn't think PC's going anywhere....

It's a virtualization platform; its hardware is highly redundant, so it replaces a cluster of servers. And, compared to all the x64 servers, it's not even that expensive," said the data center architect.
