But the truth is – in virtually all successful businesses – workloads are increasing in numbers and growing in size. Yet business still demands near-perfect reliability and efficiency in processing them, while stretching staff productivity to its limits. It’s time to take a fresh look at the mainframe and its continuing value in the delivery of goods and services.
