19th annual BMC mainframe survey shows mainframe development modernization a hot topic
Compliance, security, operational analytics and AIOps are the top priorities for organizations investing heavily in mainframes according to the 19 annual BMC Mainframe Survey of 1,000 customers.
Like a similar survey done recently by Kyndryl, interest in continuing to develop the mainframe for the future remains high, with modernization of the Big Iron's workload capabilities one of the hottest topics for customers.
Positive perception of the mainframe remains high, with 94% of respondents seeing it as a long-term platform or a platform for new workloads. Not surprisingly, survey results also show that investment in the mainframe remains high, with 90% of respondents reporting that their organizations are continuing to invest in the platform, wrote John McKenny, senior vice president and General Manager of Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation at BMC Software in a blog about the survey.
