Celebrating 50 years of the mainframe, IBM today announced a series of new enterprise cloud offerings for its big iron platform that will help users reduce the cost of operations and rapidly deploy trusted cloud services with mainframe technology.

The new offerings help to further IBM’s strategy of enabling service providers to offer “cloud-in-a-box” solutions to their customers, as today’s announcement includes the first System z-based integrated system offering, the IBM Enterprise Cloud System.

IBM announced the new offering at celebration of the System 360 mainframe's 50th anniversary event, known as IBM Mainframe50, here.

The new IBM Enterprise Cloud System provides an integrated platform, built upon open standards, for clients and service providers looking to rapidly build out a trusted cloud environment capable of supporting mission-critical workloads. Additionally, IBM said a new flexible utility pricing model being announced today will provide service providers with the ability to pay for Linux based mainframe cloud infrastructure over time based on compute consumption, rather than system capacity.
