LOL, new customers were confirmed about a year ago on this very forum. Perhaps your memory is fading? The mainframe is still by far the most secure, which is why companies needing the best security still use it. Also, it can process a trillion web transactions per day and that was in 2019. A huge chunk of Fortune 500 companies use mainframe systems, at least 71%. Credit transactions heavily rely on sophisticated mainframe systems. Globally 90% of credit card transactions happen on mainframe systems. Worldwide, mainframe systems handle 68% of information technology workloads. The “mainframe is dying” crowd has been wrong for 30 years. And will be wrong for another 30. IBM stock is hitting new highs and growing revenue again.
