Hi,
Not sure this article was written by anybody that attended a university
in the last 20 years and I am extracting from the article :
Even if mainframes are a tough sell, it is clear that a comeback is in
the works. Large companies can even save money on IT infrastructure by
replacing hundreds of servers with one huge -- if expensive -- mainframe
computer.
Summary/Conclusion :
Have any of you look at or used anything from GOOGLE lately ex. GOOGLE
APPS ?
Google APPS are FREE for all educational institution and I just finished
an assignment for an Educational institution but the "old world" can not
compete with FREE.
Note: On the back of the last weeks Economist ? Oracle claims they can
give you TWICE the performance at 33% of the cost of an IBM true BLUE
solution.

One comment from the article:
"A mainframe is like one very large server that can do anything that
multiple servers in a rack are able to do. 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.
Happy days
Lizette
