New Generation of Mainframers
summary
Mainframe remains the backbone for finance and retail: 92 of the top 100 banks, 80% of critical business data and 85% of credit card volume sit there while mainframes handle 68% of global production work at roughly 6% of IT cost. The z15 is the highest‑selling z system, companies invest in new workloads and devops, mentorships place 50+ students on five continents, a Raspberry Pi + ZOE voice assistant prototype works, and COBOL still runs billions of lines.
