Its BI capabilities are modern, soph ist icated a nd i nclude feat u res found in alternative platforms. Given data volumes and workload processes are growing at amazing rates, it’s remarkable System z data center staffing levels haven’t changed. In fact, while the System z servers grow within a data center, companies maintain a consistent level of support staff. This is testament to the platform’s strategy and philosophy; this environment continues to b e e a s y to i n s t a l l , c on f i g u r e , ad m i n i s te r a nd se r v ice. T h i s a l so makes the mainframe an attractive alternative quite capable of handling BI analytics. The System z platform has proven its reliability, scalability, security and excellent mixed-workload performance c apabi l it ie s ne c e s s a r y to s upp or t traditional, strategic and tactical BI as well as near real-time operational BI. Clearly, the mainframe isn’t dead; in many ways, it’s been reborn.
