Mainframe computers,
commonly known as the Big Iron, are computers used primarily by large
organizations for critical applications; bulk data processing, such as
census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning;
and transaction processing. They are larger and have more processing
power than any other class of computer. The term mainframe specifically
refers to computers that can support thousands of applications and
input/output devices to simultaneously serve thousands of users.
