COBOL exists beyond mainframes; usually in that case the alternative would be a Unix server (or something approximating one; I've seen COBOL-on-CentOS in the wild).
But yeah, as far as mainframes go, at least here in the US, IBM - and specifically AS/400 - is pretty much the only game left in town.
