The State of the Mainframe Market – Summer 2022

The summer months are normally a quieter period for product announcements, but that has not been the case for the mainframe ecosystem this summer. Multiple companies have announced solutions, migration plans, collaborations, new capabilities, or earnings results that show strong mainframe growth.

However, the mainframe is at a precipice as the IT industry focuses on migrating on-premises workloads to the public cloud at an ever-increasing velocity. While this is not a new phenomenon, mainframes, in general, are facing headwinds not seen before. Despite this, the mainframe is clearly not standing still as it continues to evolve and adapt across a myriad of levels.

In our latest market insight report, The State of the Mainframe Market – Summer 2022, we explore the major developments of the mainframe market that happened this summer while providing insight on how customers are leveraging mainframe technology.

In this market insight report you’ll learn: 

  • Top challenges in the current mainframe market
  • Key trends we see that are shaping the market
  • A look at the move to Mainframe as a Service
  • An overview of the significant vendor announcements that happened in the last few months

The modern mainframe still has a lot to offer for many customers and we fully believe it is not going anywhere any time soon. If you are interested in learning more about the current state of the mainframe ecosystem and gaining a comprehensive look at recent announcements that have impacted the landscape, download your copy of The State of the Mainframe Market – Summer 2022, today.
