A "Mainframe" is an architectural design and a generic term for the
"Large" systems that use the operating systems such as VM, and the MVS
derivatives(MVS, OS/390, z/OS).

Although the mainframes of today are barely larger than a commercial
refrigerator, the older systems had a very large footprint.

It provides the utmost in reliablility, scalability, and securability.

Just remember "It don't rust", "It don't bust", and "Won't collect
dust"...
