Survey Reveals Mainframe Persists As Cornerstone of Multi-Tier Enterprise Computing: Page 2 of 2

CA today announced the results of a survey highlighting the persistent appeal of the mainframe as a cornerstone platform for multi-tier enterprise computing-as well as the specific attributes of the mainframe platform that IT managers find most compelling.

Respondents were from companies with $500 million to more than $10 billion in revenue. More than 35% of respondents were from the financial sector.

"The mainframe is uniquely suited to the new challenges that IT organizations are facing as they are tasked with delivering more services to more users without being given proportionally increased resources," said Vince Re, senior vice president of innovation in CA's Mainframe Business Unit. "This is why we are seeing an ongoing increase in the number of mainframe MIPS being shipped-and why IT organizations are in greater need than ever for mainframe management solutions that enable them to take full advantage of the mainframe's differentiated capabilities."
