You are almost certainly better off buying a low-end mainframe than hiring a team of engineers to build yet another not-great data replication/recovery/HA system.
To be clear, this only applies to regular mainframes running z/OS. LinuxONE machines, as the name implies, only run Linux where you'll have all the usual devops/SRE responsibilities.

- themoonisachees 3y agoHow so? What problems have IBM solved that dell can't figure out? In my experience sysadmin/SRE work is rarely about the reliability of the hardware and much more about machine management like predicting when you're running out of disk space etc.
