Mass Mainframe Consumption
"China has begun to enter the age of mass car consumption. This is a great and historic advance.” So proclaimed a news agency, Xinhua, some time ago.
It seems that we will soon see mass mainframe consumption as well. What if the functions and robustness of the System z9 technology with its virtualization capability would be available at an entry point for every one? What if the Information Integration Processor, the On demand upgrade capability, enhanced networking and connectivity options and crypto functions were build in?
That would be just the right mainframe for the masses. See Jim´s comments in this piece.

IBM has a terrific opportunity in China. The business problems in China are amazing to me -- the questions, wow, what questions! "How do we handle up to 50,000 transactions per second?" "How do we build a financial system for one billion people?"

No. It is the CENTRAL MANAGEMENT - one box - that really appeals to the chinese business mind. CONTROL. So mainframe it is. No anarchy of gazillions of boxes: a nice closed environment, with security by obscurity. Anyone out there woul dlike to teach CICS/Cobol to the chinese? Good money to be made....
