ITE 221 - Chapter 2 Blog Entry
The website I choose is url : http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/.
This website is the main IBM site that lists the different mainframe servers that IBM currently has out and lists all the details of those servers from their output capacity to the processor and memory capabilities of their different servers. I choose this website because it is a good site to look at what current mainframes (servers) can do and what their capacities are. The topic of mainframes is covered under page 35 in out textbook and it describes the mainframe computer systems are those that can handle the information-processing needs of large numbers of users and applications. Mainframes can handle huge amounts of data and are able to transfer these large amounts of data very quickly with differentiates them from microcomputers and midrange computers. I thought this website was a good way to learn more about mainframes and to see just how large their capacities are from other types of computers.
