Today, customer experience is paramount to business survival. Frankly, every interaction—whether with a bank or even a local
gym—is now viewed as mission-essential. And more than simply working, that interaction must delight. Digital disrupters
understand this and are harnessing their mainframes to meet the challenges of the application economy.

Mainframes host mission-essential applications that support thousands of applications and devices simultaneously for
thousands of users.

The growing use of data analytics and mobile—and the transactions they generate—is also adding to your performance pressures.

As an IT leader, your ability to help drive the business forward depends on a high-performance and continuously available
environment. And achieving that is critical as your organization continues to transform to enable more digital operations.
