Frankly, these questions sound like a red herring. Or rather, they seem to imply that the actual question to ask is "on what other hardware can we efficiently run mainframe software?". And not, for example, how to evolve software architectures in a way that will allow them to run on contemporary and/or future hardware.

So, I started asking if they've achieved a few mainframe capabilities businesses depended on since the 1970's. Also, I already knew the answers ahead of time. Questions were more for parent to see why x86 servers != mainframes.
