Will IBM become the last emperor?

Your concern as a mainframe engineer is understandable, and the decision by Fujitsu to give up its mainframe business is significant, raising questions about the future of the mainframe market. However, it isn't necessarily the end of the mainframe. The mainframe is still a vital platform for many organizations and will not disappear overnight.

Here are some reasons why it is still a valuable platform:

• It is very reliable and can handle a high volume of transactions.


• It is secure and can protect sensitive data.


• It is scalable and adapts to the needs of growing organizations.


• It is mature and has a wide range of applications and services available.

IBM could be the last mainframer in the world, but it is a solid company with a long history in the mainframe market and has invested heavily in its development.

IBM could continue to be a significant player in the mainframe market for many years, though it may need to adapt to the market's changing needs and continue to innovate.

Here are some ways that IBM can survive in the computer business:

• Continue to invest in the mainframe and develop new features and services.


• Partner with other companies to offer integrated solutions.


• Target new markets, such as the cloud and big data.


• Focus on providing high-quality customer support.

I hope this helps ease your worries. The mainframe is still valuable, and IBM is a strong company committed to its success.
