MAINFRAMES

Notwithstanding their size, mainframes may not be the next big thing or a front-page news items these days, but they are not extinct – they continue to power many of the world’s largest systems. Today's mainframe is often deployed in server environments where ROI and consolidated infrastructure are of prime importance.

"The more security and compliance concerns emerge as the key issues for companies across the board, the more frightening the idea of a distributed, decentralized IT infrastructure becomes," says IBM. Instead, managers "want to house their data and applications all in one place on a platform that will never go down."

At Cambridge Solutions, we understand the requirement to support organizations whose dependence on mainframes is significant. The following are the key services that we offer for main frame computing:
