As IT technology has evolved, some businesses have phased out their mainframe in favour of new technologies.
According to Mark Neft, a managing director in Accenture’s Enterprise Architect and Application Strategy group, companies that do so could be overlooking a major asset.
For a limited time the IBM 3270, 5250 and Pro versions of TTerm, our terminal emulation Apps for iPad, are on sale in the App Store.
The mainframe has advanced processing powers and is capable of managing enormous amounts of information. In the 1990s the mainframe began to lose its popularity to cheaper, smaller platforms. Many predicted that the mainframe would die out. However, this prediction did not come true. Recent research has revealed that the mainframe continues to be an essential tool for innovation and growth.
With the release of the latest TTerm update to the App Store we've added a handy new import and export feature to our terminal emulator for iPad. For users who own or manage more than one iPad the ability to import and export TTerm's saved connection settings helps you to easily share and deploy configurations across multiple devices. The import/export feature takes all your settings including host details, hotspots, color schemes, keyboard settings and (optionally) SSH certificates and makes them available as a file for use with iTunes file sharing.
