According to the Economist, back in June of 2001, noted science fiction writer and futurist William Gibson observed that, “The future is already here—it's just unevenly distributed.”
Nowhere has that been more accurate than on the platform where business computing truly came into its own: the mainframe. And while the prescience of the platform’s design put it in front from the beginning, it has continued not merely to keep up with the future, but to define it. As visionaries such as Abraham Lincoln and Peter Drucker have pointed out: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
Today, we stand firmly within the purview of decades’ worth of future tomorrows, as the IBM mainframe stands ready to handle the most advanced futuristic workloads running today, and their successors, while building for a future that only time or a signed NDA can tell.
