Yes, Virginia, companies still use Mainframes Server maker Unisys is today announcing its second generation of dual-core ClearPath Mainframes. These use the company's own CMOS-based mainframe engines and new midrange Mainframes based on Intel's Tigerton quad-core Xeon 7300 processors, sporting the same OS 2200 and MCP operating systems that run on the CMOS iron.… ...

WebLayers launched an automated governance solution for Mainframes. An extension of WebLayers' flagship solution, WebLayers Center for z/OS empowers enterprises to take a comprehensive approach to governance as they transition to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). WebLayers has a high market standing in automated SOA governance. The WebLayers Center family provides a policy-based approach to automate what has traditionally been a manual, labor-intensive process of defining and enforcing governance from design to deployment. read more ...

Transitioning off of legacy systems is never easy, but its especially challenged if you are an agency of the U.S. government like the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). Real progress on a next-generation system is being made, but you wouldnt necessarily know it if you read some news headlines about FAA system failures this year. Beyond being a nuisance to airlines and travelers, experts and former employees of the FAA are calling flight-plan system failures a warning sign for peril. - The Mainframes running our air traffic flight plans and air traffic are beyond antiquated. They are flat-out dangerous say experts and former FAA employees, and the U.S. government agency has been lucky that it hasnt lead to any fatalities to date. Problems with the system have been happening for ma... ... Source: www.gcn.com --- 1 day ago

So today I completed parts 1 and 2 of the IBM Master the Mainframe Competition. All total it took me about 4 hours to complete. I’m hoping I got all of the part 2 answers right and that I finished within the first 60 (the prize is $100). Some of the content was completely different than last year’s, but about half of it was pretty much the same as it was last year (too bad I didn’t take time to document the exact procedures from last year). Since I’m not at school this semester while I do my co-op, I’m thinking I may take time to work on part 3. The five people to have accumulated the most points in part 3 tasks by December 29 win an MSI Wind Laptop running Linux (the top two of those five get a trip to the Mainframe lab in Poughkeepsie, NY). A laptop would be a sweet prize so I figure it might be worth the effort to work on part 3 (not to mention the fact that I’ll probably learn a lot from it). ... Source: www.fwicki.com --- 12 days ago

The Convex Exemplar SPP1x00, introduced between 1994-1996, are scalable 32-bit Mainframes, with either PA-7100 (SPP1000) or PA-7200 (SPP1200 and SPP1600) processors. They consist of three distinct system building concepts: the CD compact systems with up to 16 CPUs, the XA eXtended Architecture hypernodes with up to eight CPUs and the XA clusters, consisting of up to 16 linked XA hypernodes, with up to 128 CPUs. HP started a collaboration with Convex in the mainframe sphere in the early 1990s with these PA-RISC based systems; Convex was later completely bought by HP (in the mid-1990s) and the SPP Exemplar computers integrated into HP’s own HP 9000 portfolio (first the joint-marketed S-Class and X-Class, later the HP V-Class). The SPP 1x00 Mainframes laid the foundation of the Exemplar crossbar architecture, with the 32-bit systems all using the same system design as the original SPP1000. The crossbar design was revised and improved in the 64-bit SPP2000 and later taken over into HP’s own V-Class system, basically only slighly faster SPP2000 systems. The first implementations of the Exemplar crossbar used rare Gallium arsenide gate arrays (GaAs) chips. ... Source: www.openpa.net --- 3 days ago
The jointly marketed Exemplar SPP2000 (Convex)/S-Class and X-Class (HP) are the 64-bit Exemplar successors to the 32-bit based SPP1x00s from the mid-1990s. The SPP2000 are the direct predecessors of the HP 9000 V-Class systems. They feature a slightly modified SPP1x00 crossbar architecture, upgraded with 64-bit PA-8x00 processors and different clustering attachments. Single nodes can carry more processors (16), more RAM (32GB) and have a different I/O system (PCI) than their predecessors; the clustering ability has been increased twofold — SPP2000 clusters (called “X-Class” by HP) can be built from up to 32 interconnected SPP2000 nodes (“S-Classes” at HP). In contrast to the SPP1x00 line of Exemplars, the compact CD models — two closely coupled nodes and no SCI clustering attachments — were dropped with the SPP2000 and only the concept of a single node and multiple nodes as cluster retained. Also changed was the SCI (“CTI”) clustering topology — in contrast to the four unidirectional rings (2.4GB/s overall) of the SPP1x00s, clustered SPP2000s form a torus with each of a single node’s eight memory controllers attaching to two SCI rings. ...

Mainframes should be authorized for a superior ascend. It is surely a great point. Everything seems so well aligned. There are many ideas here that will help you immensely if you ensue the broad precepts. Golden nuggets: Fortunately, most if not all the companies mentioned above rely on Mainframes for the size of their central thing processes. It's no exaggeration to say that Mainframes have facilitated the incredible swiftness of consolidation in the total ..>> . Even though it comes from another world far, far away, (that's kidding) and even tough it is different, bizarre and a little weird, they deserve accept and understanding just like all of articles on Internet, because it is wholly amazing new idea of Mainframes.
