Regarding cloud: it's trendy. Fashionable.
It's like many other buzzwords from the past.
It doesn't matter mainframe environment in your shop fulfills all cloud
advantages and more.
Cloud has to be from Google, Amazon, Microsoft. The brand name has to be
trendy.
Security? Nevermind! Many other companies went that way, so we also can.
Platforms? The only trendy system is "cloud", which usually means
Windows. Sometimes Linux, but it's much less trendy.
Trend is important. This is the thing described in airline magazines and
discussed in lobby at VIP conferences about new financial trends. Yes,
trends.
Regarding mainframe: IMHO big shops will remain on mainframe. It's to
serious too follow after trendy colorful solutions offered by PFCSKs or
startup owner which offer "sometimes it works" systems. It's too big
money to experiment.
The problem is with small and medium shops. New manager with new trendy
vision (yes, vision) can invest a lot of money to start the project. And
invest even more when prolong end date. And quietly stop investing in
mainframe. And be happy when mainframe system perform worse and worse -
that's the "reason" to get rid of...

You might put you pictures and music on the cloud but are you willing to put
your health care and financial info there? I’m not.

I am part of a ISV, but I see more a trend toward PC (aka Windows and Linux
), which is fine, but I think people are missing
the multi-platform resources available. Everyone is focused on 'the cloud'.
I dont feel its the end-all, just another tool.

The mainframe is far from dead/dying.

As I read the topics of their Recent Posts (visible on handheld, not on
desktop!?), I suspect, "There is a great future in plastics. Think about
it.
Will you think about it?"
