Moving to mainframe can be cheaper than sticking with VMware: Gartner

Gartner Vice President Analyst Alessandro Galimberti suggests that moving to an IBM mainframe can be cheaper than adopting Broadcom's new licenses for VMware users. Mainframes are suited for mission-critical applications and Linux applications, offering features like data synchronization and high availability. This comes as Gartner advises assuming 75 percent of vendors offering mainframe exit services will change their businesses or vanish by 2030.
