Is the scope of mainframe technology still relevant in today's market dominated by cloud computing and emerging technologies? Are organizations actively modernizing their mainframe systems or transitioning to newer platforms? What are the challenges and opportunities for mainframe professionals in this evolving landscape?

Hi,

Just a friendly heads-up that adding unrelated questions to existing threads can sometimes derail the conversation and make it tough for everyone to follow along. I've noticed this happening quite frequently, and I've split your recent question from viewtopic.php?t=450 as it didn't seem to fit the original discussion there.

If you have a new question, it's always best to create a separate thread with a clear and concise title. This will help keep the forum organized and make it easier for people to find the information they need.

For your reference, here are some existing threads that might be relevant to your question:

Companies that use mainframes are regularly surveyed and report that they see the need to use mainframes into the 2030's and 2040's and sometimes even longer.  IBM's latest mainframes are very focused on cloud computing and newer technologies.  Your question frames mainframes as either/or with cloud and newer technologies -- this is a mistake.  The question should be about mainframes AND cloud / newer technologies.

Why don't you try to learn something about mainframes before spouting nonsense (multiple times) on a forum?
