A mainframe should be chosen
carefully. There are several options available and many aspects
to consider.
For instance, you will want
to ensure that the mainframe you choose is compatible with
the items that will be connecting to it. If you want the latest
and greatest features, are you willing to replace other outdated
equipment.
You will also want to determine
a method for protecting your mainframe from potential attack
from hackers. How much space will you need to house your mainframe?
It is important to consider the size of the mainframe. In
addition, it is important that mainframes be located in a
room that can be kept cool and well ventilated.
What type of system will you
use to back up your data? You could choose to use tape, but
this requires storage space or perhaps virtual tape would
be more appropriate. There are many issues to work out before
choosing your mainframe.
