Shortly before, IBM announced that its zenterprise mainframe would support Windows systems. In 2010, IBM announced that Zenterprise BladeCenter extension could support certain IBM POWER7, System x BladeCenter, and blades optimized for specific workloads, This includes a blade system that runs Linux based on System-x. IBM had hinted in 2011 that it would support windows, and had confirmed in April that IBM planned to have Windows compatible with Z/enterprise.
This December 16, with new technology zenterprise system users will be able to integrate Windows application platforms in mainframe environments. Enterprises will also be able to obtain Multi-layer application platform, in a unified system to achieve centralized management and application. So why did IBM make the decision to support Windows? We believe that there are several reasons for this:
The perfect combination of the IT world
IBM mainframe supports Windows, although it's late, but it's not too late. It broke the gap between the two famous enterprise computing environments.
Ii. Unified System Environment
Different system environments often require different IT staff and software tools to manage and operate, and more importantly, increase the complexity of real-time communication and interoperability between each other.
Iii. market Demand Promotion
Since the release of Zenterprise in July 2010, the need to support hybrid systems has become increasingly vocal, with Linux on Windows and/or mainframes, because businesses have different workloads.
