Kaum jemand kennt sie. Und dennoch hat man täglich mit ihnen zu tun. Wer an einem Bankautomaten Geld abhebt, wer einen Flug bucht, wer mit der Deutschen Bahn unterwegs ist: Immer arbeiten im Hintergrund Mainframes, welche die wirklich entscheidende Arbeit verrichten und dafür sorgen, dass alles sicher und ohne Datenverlust vonstatten geht. Mehr als 70 Prozent der Global 500 arbeiten mit diesen Großrechnern.
