But while mainframes have advanced, most organizations are still storing their mainframe data in tape or virtual tape libraries (VTL). Meanwhile, enterprises are rapidly moving away from tape and other on-premises storage in favor of cloud object stores.

It turns out, serverless BS (SLBS) and hardware less are still trendy, and while some might view the cloud or software-defined data center (SDDC) virtualization, or IoT folks as the culprits, it is more widespread with plenty of bandwagon riders. To me what’s ironic is that many purveyors of of SLBS also like to talk about hardware.
