Why Do Mainframes Matter Today? >From SHARE’s perspective, mainframes are an indispensable asset for businesses >of all kinds. Here are just a few stats to back it up: - Mainframes host critical core IT for: 92 of the world’s top 100 banks; 23 of the 25 top airlines; 10 of the world’s top 10 insurers; and 71 percent of Fortune 500 companies. - Mainframes run 30 billion transactions per day, hold 80 percent of the world’s business data and handle 90 percent of all credit card transactions. - Mainframes host more transactions daily than Google (1.3 million/second on CICS vs. 68,542/second on Google), including 55 percent of all enterprise transactions. - Mainframes consume only 6.2 percent of worldwide IT spend. Yet, they run 68 percent of production workloads and an estimated 220Bn lines of code, with the highest levels of security and reliability.
It’s hard to imagine a world without mainframes. Critical IT systems in so many industries simply couldn’t function the same without them. Stay tuned to this series, as we dive into more ways that mainframes matter today. https://www.share.org/blog/mainframe-matters-how-mainframes-keep-the-financial-industry-up-and-running Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Friday, October 9, 2020, 5:28 AM, zMan <zedgarhoo...@gmail.com> wrote: Actually, Bill, it's pretty clear that you didn't read the report. It's at https://kinsta.com/blog/cloud-market-share/ and lists the top 5 vendors, comprising more than half the market, and then notes that the next ten players--of whom IBM is one--"account for another 26% of the SaaS market". So IBM has a couple of percent; as I said, that's a joke. Not a major player.
