So - bank infrastructure, if I can generalize, covers the whole
spectrum of IT. I see banks that have moved most things to the latest
and greatest, or the new hotness, whatever you want to call it - I
recently had a conversation with a bank that has hundreds of nodes
running Hadoop and using Pig to do statistical risk analysis. I
know many banks are using large-scale compute grids for algorithmic
trading.
Other banks, and some insurance companies, still do most of their
heavy lifting on mainframes, more for the reliability and performance
consistency than any real attachment to old code.
I see environments that are 0% mainframe to 70% mainframe. I would
say the average is probably around 1/3 of their data compute
infrastructure is mainframe.
