Mainframe in India

Recently there is report on mainframes in Indian IT landscape. This report is full of critical remark against IBM mainframe market in India. IBM attributing it as handiwork of Microsoft.

The main features of this report are:

1. Mainframe market is very small in India
2. Only player in mainframe market in India is IBM. Fujitsu does not do sale in India.
3. If cues are to be taken from China, Indian main frame ( a.k.a. high end server) bound to increase
4. Beware of vendor lock in
5. Indian competition authorities should take preemptive actions now, before it is too late as in Europe and North America.
6.
The report is available at http://openmainframe.org/ as free download.
