BMC shared its eighth annual survey of mainframe users with us, which confirms that the mainframe is evolving to play an increasingly important role in today’s enterprise IT environments. Among those surveyed, 93 percent see mainframe as a robust, long-term solution. One-third of those planning a cloud implementation said mainframe data will be accessed by their cloud applications. Fifty percent agreed that mainframe will continue to attract new workloads. Seventy percent of respondents said the mainframe will have a key role in big data plans.
