Typical.
80% *wrote something*. That remains me "how many banks are using Windows
NT". A lot. It was ~25 years ago. However they'd been using Windows NT
...but not for core banking systems.
Now banks *consider* moving *some* workload to the cloud. Cloud? What
does it mean? Just someone else's computer? Which one? Is it something
generic and "platform agnostic" or just Windows?
I know few projects to move off the mainframe. Very successful. That
means people engaged built new houses and cars. But after 10 years (!)
mainframes are still running the business. They consume more MSU because
of code crippling (to make it "compatible" with some wannabe-compiler).
Yearly cost of the project is more than TCO of mainframe (HW+SW licenses
+ S&S, etc.).
Well, time for my consideration. I'm going to consider moving from my
bicycle to Rolls Royce Silver Spur.
Shortly and seriously: the article has zero information value.
