The software, which allows marketers to manage email lists, has been launched for the IBM S/390 parallel enterprise servers to ensure availability to the mainframe using business market.
“The continual decrease of computing power costs has breathed new life into the mainframe business model,” said L-Soft CEO Eric Thomas.
“LISTSERV is no stranger to S/390, having been originally developed on an IBM 4341 mainframe in 1986. In the 1990s, customers migrated to Unix or Windows because S/390 hardware was no longer cost effective.
“But today, computing power is so cheap that that it makes sense to spend more on hardware to save a lot of manpower, and people are rediscovering the benefits of the centralized mainframe business model.”
