Hello friends,
I came to IBM 10 months ago and, admittedly, was one of those people that didn’t think much about how “old” mainframe systems impact my use of modern applications. But most end-to-end systems from today’s large enterprises touch the mainframe in some way, that’s why it’s important to be able to measure transaction performance all the way from a web-front end through the back end mainframe.
So what do u think about mainframe technology? is it really use in spite of being older one ?
IBM mainframes dominate the mainframe market at well over 90% market share.
& as we know most of the banking systems uses the mainframe technology as front end as well as back end. Now a days some of them are using GUI at the front end designed by using .net, java, php or any other system, but at the back end definatly they are using mainframe because for them maintaining the customer information & there financial record is a major challenge. As mainframe can do it very nicely with high performance, they prefer for IBM mainframe.

Form the above para u people come to know that how important mainframe is. In such a case it is also important to maintain the performance of mainframe application.
Form one of the survey, i observed following things-
- 81 percent of global respondents say mainframe is already strategic or highly strategic to current and future IT plans
- 58 percent says mainframe is already or will be critical to cloud strategy
- 46 percent will spend more on mainframe software and 44 percent will spend more on services
- 44 percent already have or will be enabling mobile management of mainframe
- 54 percent want IT staff with cross-functional expertise.
