- IBM Computing 1995: This film is a partially restored installment of the IBM System/390 Magazine video series. This vol 4-2 edition has lots of technical info and covers lots of ground. Included are Parallel Sysplex at Toronto Dominion Bank, Parallel Enterprise Server at Iceland Air, Parallel Enterprise Server at American Bankers Insurance Group, Miami, Florida, and the IBM PC Server 500.
The IBM System/390 was announced in 1990 as the most current upgrade to the System/360 and System/370 family. Available in various sizes, the lowest cost models under $100,000, and the highest water-cooled giant systems in the $20 million dollar range. The Operating System "OS/390" was introduced in late 1995 to help fully utilize the MVS operating system package.
An additional benefit of the OS/390 packaging concept was to improve reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) for the operating system. This "packaging" reduced the overall time required for customers to test and deploy the operating system in their environments.
In December 2001 IBM extended OS/390 to include support for 64-bit zSeries processors and added various other improvements, and the resulting OS was named z/OS. IBM ended support for the older OS/390-branded versions in 2004.
This film is part of the IBM "System/390 Magazine" series of news and updates from IBM.

Thanks for preserving this- this is SO 1990's !
Hi Lawrence, Glad you enjoyed it! ~ CHAP
I remember hurricane Andrew. We lived on the Dade/Broward line. I watched 1000 foot TV towers hoping they would not fall and they didn't. We lost many trees but our townhouse was spared. South Miami was not as lucky.
Thanks for the video.
Hi B Blod, you are very welcome. Glad you survived Andrew! ~
People often forgot that mainframes could shine when it came to sheer throughput, especially when centralization helps.
My employer finally shut down their mainframe in 2021! It had been in continuous operation since the 70s (different hardware throughout the years of course, from punch cards to flash storage) It was a behemoth of a system but was always reliable.
22:47 That sturdy blue IBM selectric did not move a single inch during the storm. Gotta love 'em.
It would take a tornado or 500lb bomb to make it move.
How many people just found out that TD Bank was called "Toronto Dominion Bank" at one point? And that they offered $5 for delays!? Now they're charging that monthly as an account fee. 🤣
You’d be surprised to learn they merged with another bank called Canada Trust in 2000.
Grato!
"... give or a take a picosecond!"
Ha. Ha. Very. Funny.
\*knee slap\*
Love it. It's so dang corny and despite that, it's fascinating stuff. My first real IT job was working on these. Always was cool to tell friends about "the IBM mainframe."
8:49 🙃👍
These visual sequences... Absolutely no time to show UI (TUI) only blah blah blah.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 How did they win the market competition? Did those talks really work? 🤪
These appear to directed more towards the people in companies who control the purchasing (money) and other execs, not a tech nerd wanting to see what the GUI looks like.
@@guyintenn :-) Even not consulting with their IT department :-) Guys we've bought a good mini-mainframe for our company, you have 2 hours to start it up!
