  1. ISYS 4453/5453 –Introduction to Enterprise Servers Wednesday evenings– 5:30 to 8:20 PM Hunt 220

  2. What is the first thing that comes to you mind for the word mainframe?

  3. Common Challenges • System z is too expensive • System z is legacy, stabilized and new development should be on other platforms • Then, the z will eventually go away • I’m afraid if I use z I will have a “single point of failure” • The MF skills are all ready to retire—who will support “anything” MF going forward?

  4. Myths that have to be overcome

  5. ?

  6. Questions • In what decade was the first MF? • What was its name? • Last year, the world produced more transistors than grains of rice? t/f • What MF name was used for the first follow on MF from above? • By 2010, there will be more than 30 billion RFID tabs in circulation. t/f • What version of MF would used in the 90’s? • What is the major database used on MFs? • There are more than 1 billion camera phones in use today? t/f • What has been the most prevalent programming language on the MF? • What are “modern” languages being used on the MF?

  7. Why take this course? • Jobs • Know companies like Baldor, Data-Tronics, Dillards, JB Hunt, Walmart, etc. • http://mainframejobs.zjournal.com/a/jbb/find-jobs • Additional computing platform that many students do not have opportunity to learn • Broading skillsets as System z becomes more open and accessible • Fast growing server—appears to continue as a major computing platform • RAS—Reliability, Accessibility, Scalability • Did I say Jobs? Or did I say Jobs?
