New York — IBM is introducing a revamped mainframe server geared to combating cyber-crime across public and private cloud services.
“We read in the press every day about data breaches that happen because of cyber-crime and that our personal information and business information is being stolen and used against us,” said Ross Mauri, GM of IBM Z, the company’s mainframe program. “This mainframe is specifically designed to completely thwart that.”
Through z15, businesses are able to control who can access their data — and revoke that access at any time. They will also be able to enforce their own internal privacy policies, creating different views of their data for different employees and teams, even if they are using multiple private and public cloud providers, the company said in a statement.
IBM created the first mainframe computer about 55 years ago. Today they run everything from credit card transactions to airline reservation systems for two thirds of Fortune 100 companies. Each mainframe is custom-built and can cost anywhere from $500,000 to $3m, depending on a client’s business requirements. On average, IBM upgrades its mainframe Z system every two-and-a-half years.
