This is an odd remark - apparently AIX/ESA, the AIX version for mainframe hardware was discontinued "in the late 1990s", roughly the same time when IBM started to invest in Linux.

There was also Amdahl UTS, which was sold to a company UTS Global around 2000 that appears defunct now.

So where is this stronghold of AT&T descendant UNIXes on mainframes then?
- tolle 11y agoNowhere, but some people call System I/(A/400)/I-Series a mainframe. It's midrange, but people call it what they call it. Anyway, IBM i and AIX run on the same hardware. They used to be called System I and System P. Now it's just Power Systems. Maybe thats what he ment. Or well, come to think of it. There is a UNIX side to z/OS itself.
