Intro, IBMz Next 2015 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante

IBM’s 13th generation of System z has just been launched and its integration with the cloud brings the “mainframe back on the table as a relevant piece of infrastructure,” says Dave Vellante in his opening analysis with John Furrier that kicked off theCUBE’s IBM zNext coverage on Wednesday. In itself, this billion dollar investment only generates 3 percent of the company’s revenue, but the added elements of software and mainframe boost it to over 20 percent.
Vellante pointed to a previous VMware statement about “building a software mainframe” which would have security built in, virtualization, and openness. “The industry has always wanted to build a mainframe. IBM has got one.” said Vellante.
“The cloud and mobile drive this trend,” Furrier added. He also raised the question of how existing businesses will integrate this new system.
“It is the transactional box, always has been,” Vellante explained, as he outlines that z has the highest performance, it’s the most reliable, and most secure in the industry. “What customers are going to do, they are going to build the back end infrastructure around mainframe to address the duplicative bursts of transactions. Customers are going to put their web front end in the cloud. Mainframe is the cloud back end. What’s interesting is bringing in the analytics piece.” he furthered.
