MAINFRAME COMPUTER
The largest types of computer on the basis of size is mainframe computer. This types of computer can support more than 100 users in a same time it can include up to thousand of terminals attached to it at geographically remote location and occupy an entire site with hundred of disk devices and hardware units. This type of computer are used in places where many people need frequent access to the same data which is usually organized into one or more huge database and this types of organization are banks , insurances companies, government departments, airline ,etc.
Most large-scale computer system architectures were established in the 1960s, but continue to evolve.Manufacturers produced mainframe computers from the late 1950s through the 1970s. The group of first manufactures were "IBM AND THE SEVEN DWARFS". High stability and reliability enables these machines to run uninterrupted for long periods of time.Mainframes can add or hot swap system capacity without disrupting system function, with specificity and granularity to a level of sophistication not usually available with most server solutions.
