    Solution

    Mainframes  are a type of computer that generally is known for their large size, amount of storage, processing power and high level of reliability.

    • They are primarily used by large organizations for mission-critical applications requiring high volumes of data processing.

    • All mainframes can run or host multiple operating systems.

    • They are designed to handle very high-volume input and output (I/O) and emphasize throughput computing.

    • A single mainframe can replace dozens or even hundreds of smaller servers.
