This one’s getting a lot of chatter. I had no idea that so much pent-up admiration remained in mainframes. They are valid architectural options along with the Cloud ☁️, along with everything else that’s out there. It goes to show you can’t discount technology that’s currently in production, that never turns out to be true. #CloudComputing #ClaudeArchitecture #MainFrames #Ibm

Combine cloud flexibility with the resilience of the modern mainframe with Ensono

I spoke with a very satisfied #Rocket #IBMz customer a few weeks back. They've been using the #Mainframe for 40+ years, and in 2019, they began moving to the cloud. Things were going well except for one thing... Their IT spending went from $10m a year to $70m a year! They called Rocket Software to help return them to their on-prem Mainframe. They needed to modernize their #security, #development, and #storage —the good news is that they called the right place! With over 150 IBM Z products, they had a full menu to build the right strategy to get them back on-prem quickly! Where are you on your #HybridCloud modernization journey? Are you going to the cloud, back on-prem, or somewhere in between? Rocket Software, IBM, #IBMi, #IBMiEverywhere, #IBMChampion

Cute conversation between Mainframe and Cloud Computing showcases the complementary roles in the evolving technology landscape. **Mainframe:** Ah, Cloud! Fancy meeting you here. How's the weather up there? **Cloud:** Hey, Mainframe! Always steady on the ground, I see. It's pretty dynamic up here, you know-scaling up, scaling down. What about you? **Mainframe:** You know me, rock-solid as ever. I've been handling mission-critical workloads for decades, never missed a beat. How's that flexibility of yours treating you? **Cloud:** It's exhilarating! I can spin up resources in seconds, deploy globally, and support millions of users at once. But I've got to admit, you've set the bar high for reliability and security. **Mainframe:** Thanks! And I've been impressed with how you handle elasticity and modern applications. We've come a long way from the days when it was just me carrying the load. **Cloud:** Absolutely! And when we work together-wow, we're unstoppable. I can take care of the front-end, scale as needed, and offload the heavy lifting to you for those big, critical processes. **Mainframe:** A perfect partnership! You bring agility, I bring stability. Together, we're the best of both worlds. #Mainframe #CloudComputing #ItInfrastructure

Ever had one of those moments when you realize that "cloud" hasn't just transformed into a storage term, but into an existential metaphor for your life? Deployments stuck in the haze, infrastructure setups raining issues, and expectations hovering like cumulonimbus clouds—yup, it's a downpour. But then comes the golden piece of genius: CloudFormation scripts. And suddenly, you wield Thor's hammer, controlling resources out of thin air. 🛠️ The same person who once asked, "Where’s my server?" is now provisioning fleets of instances like, "Oops, did I provision the Jedi council by accident?" Let’s not forget the Gandalfs—otherwise known as IaC
