Thing is, a competing product does not (at launch) have to match the entrenched one feature-for-feature. It just has to tick the MOST IMPORTANT boxes while being advantageous in other ways (such as being built on FAR newer tech, more reliable etc.)
- vmchale 8y agoBeing built on newer tech isn't an advantage from a customer POV. It's only an advantage when the newer tech is better, and tbh I have a hard time believing that you'd match the performance and security of a mainframe that easily.
- le-mark 8y agoBeing an order of magnitude cheaper would be compelling to these same companies though.
