Don't you use mainframes to have one very powerful machine? Like the central system of a large bank that needs to ensure transactions for millions of accounts book correctly.
If you run VMs anyway, aren't x86 server cheaper? (honest question, don't know much about that)
- chinathrow 9y agoMainframes used to be a lot about concurrent I/O for transaction processing - e.g. booking/check-in/handling of airline passengers or yes, batch transactions in the millions (e.g. end of day calculation within banks or financial information providers). TCO might be lower with x86 these days, it all depends on your workload.

- vbezhenar 9y agoOne possible advantage is faster communication between nodes. If you want to run 2 millions docker containers, probably you'll run few hundred different servers.
- reality_hacker 9y agoIf you choose 86 servers, then you need to setup all VMs cluster management, backup, recovery, migration..
