Market Insights

The global mainframe market is projected to witness substantial growth, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Mainframe computers, created in the early 1940s, were designed for managing high volumes of data processing and business transactions. At present, for more than 40 years, mainframes have incessantly developed to meet the numerous challenges related to data processing. They normally have a considerable amount of memory for processing several computing tasks at once, along with great storage capacity.

Mainframes are mainly used by large-scale organizations for mission-critical applications. No computing platform has the capability of handling a diversity of workloads better than a mainframe. As a result, the rising need for high processing power is one of the important factors driving the growth of the overall mainframe market.

Today’s mainframe generation offers a significant improvement in system scalability over the preceding mainframe servers. With total system capacity and increased performance, customers continue to consolidate diverse applications on a single platform. Mainframes are often used by banks, government agencies, and large companies that have huge storing and processing needs and can handle hundreds of users at the same time. For instance, a banking sector can use the mainframe to host a database of the customer’s financial records, for which transactions can be made from any of the thousands of ATM locations worldwide. Thus, in the years to come, mainframes are likely to become more flexible and faster while also reducing physical size. This, in turn, is expected to facilitate the market’s growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.
