<title>And So Begins the Next    Mainframe    Saga - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com</title>
<description><![CDATA[Whatâ€™s more important for the industry at large is that Ciscoâ€™s product is in essence a   mainframe   built mostly out of standard hardware. Cisco has crafted a tight package thatâ€™s chockfull of software in the hopes of keeping the profit margins on the product high. . Hewlett-Packard has been moving in a similar direction for years. Customers who want the most out of H.P.â€™s blade servers, for example, must commit to its chassis, which is not industry standard, and purchase technology like Virtual Connect, which creates virtual ties among servers, storage systems and networking components. . (As I hear it, itâ€™s Virtual Connect that really upset Cisco, since it cut down the]]></description>

<title>What is    mainframe   ? - Definition from Whatis.com</title>
<description><![CDATA[- A   mainframe   (also known as big iron ) is a high-performance computer used for large-scale computing purposes that require greater availability and security than a smaller-scale machine can offer. Historically,   mainframe  s have been associated with centralized rather than distributed computing, although that distinction is blurring as smaller computers become more powerful and   mainframe  s become more multi-purpose. Today, IBM emphasizes that their   mainframe  s can be used to serve distributed users and smaller servers in a computing network. . The   mainframe   is sometimes referred to as a dinosaur not only because of its size but because of reports, going back many years, that it's becoming extinct. In 1991 Stewart Alsop, the editor of Info]]></description>

Sadly, such a premise stands in marked contrast to the prevailing popular attitude both in the West and in many Muslim circles.

<title>Big Blue bundles pound down    mainframe    prices â€¢ The Register</title>
<description><![CDATA[IBM wants to get more workloads running on more   mainframe  s, and is willing to slash prices to do so - but shops will have to put new workloads designated by IBM as "solution editions" to get cheaper iron. . Solution editions are nothing new at IBM - they've been peddled on the venerable AS/400 and successor iSeries, System i, and Power Systems midrange boxes for more than a decade. . To create a solution edition, IBM sets up a preconfigured system aimed at supporting a particular stack of application and systems software, tunes up a few variants with a few different pricing options, and cuts the price to entice customers to buy this setup rather than build their own stack in a piecemeal fashion. . The goal is not just to sell a bundle]]></description>
