The seven ages of mainframe

(K6)

Stream: Keynotes
Time: 08:30 - 09:00


Keynote

In ‘As You Like It’ William Shakespeare describes the human condition and our life’s journey from cradle to imminent death, in a famous speech that talks about the seven ages of man. In the same way, the evolution of the mainframe has followed many stages, from infancy, to its early heyday, to its predicted demise some years ago. The seven ages of mainframe doesn’t end with a fading away in later life, however, but rather with a resurgence or rebirth as the mainframe has come into its own as an enabler for emerging tech: supporting BlockChain, machine learning, the Internet of Things…and all the many new technologies that require a system with the performance to handle the massive volumes of data involved, securely and reliably. The keynote will catalogue this evolution through the mainframe’s very own ‘seven ages’ and will include an enjoyable review of the mainframe’s past highlights, a look at its current position within the wider tech environment and a glimpse of what the mainframes of the future could look like.
