Since the 1960’s to 1970’s, large companies have developed their computing infrastructures using hardware infrastructures called IBM mainframe. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, new technologies began emerging thus enabling companies to diversify their deployment strategies. At the time many predicted that the IBM mainframe infrastructures would disappear towards the end of the 90’s. Not only did this never take place, but with the growth of data volumes and processing loads along with the democratization of the web, the needs of developed countries with regards to mainframe infrastructures are no longer declining. According to IBM, the number of mainframes is currently relatively stable and the number of "mips" required by the customers is growing strongly. What does it mean? Simply that more and more processing load is assigned to the IBM mainframe platform. At Hera Evolution, we firmly believe that this technology won’t fade away!
