The document discusses how the mainframe remains relevant despite predictions that it would become obsolete. It provides examples of how the mainframe continues to process a large volume of transactions and data efficiently. It then summarizes IBM's DevOps solutions for modernizing mainframe development and discusses how technologies like blockchain, analytics and APIs can help expose mainframe capabilities and drive innovation.

3. Is the mainframe still relevant?
Some people may not think so because:
• The “face of the mainframe” is too often still a green screen.
• Their view was frozen years ago.
• They have no experience with the mainframe.
In 1991 Stuart Alsop wrote this in InfoWorld:
“I predict that the last mainframe will be unplugged on March 15, 1996.”
However …

4. Those people are WRONG!
… A decade later, Mr. Alsop had to eat his words.
The FACT is …
“Mainframes were once a standalone technology, but now they
form a crucial function helping to manage the dizzying array of
transactions that the Internet generates.”
- Forbes
