A mainframe is a high-performance computer used for
large-scale computing purposes that require greater
availability and security than a smaller-scale machine can
offer. Historically, mainframes have been associated with
centralized rather than distributed computing, although that
distinction is blurring as smaller computers become more
powerful and mainframes become more multi-purpose. Today,
IBM emphasizes that their mainframes can be used to serve
distributed users and smaller servers in a computing network.
