"Most secure" due to lack of skills. Very few worldwide have the
expertise and system access to breach it.

pSeries (p = performance) - known as RS/6000
iSeries (i = integrated) - known as AS400
xSeries (x = Intel X architecture) - known as Netfinity

Ask yourself why IBM called it z-series(end of the line/migrating from MVS
to unix) and not A-Series(The beginning of a new life for MVS)?
Because they knew that opening from the closed network with only CICS
terminals, to TCPIP+hackability+++, was the end of the mainframe.
I am just as sad as anyone else, but that is the reality of it all...
