Working in a workplace environment that involves a lot of organic chemical compounds like gases and inorganic chemical compounds like chemical paints and vapor pressures is really hazardous for health as well as for natural environment. Effects of such chemicals become more intense when they are in concentrated form in confined space. To prevent their toxic effect it is important that the chemical compounds are stringently monitored present in the surrounding areas. MiniRAE system 3000 is an advance device for monitoring volatile organic compounds that allows users detect and analyze the level of levels of all sorts of toxic fumes.

Real-time wireless data transmission

The MiniRae 3000 is equipped with a delicately tuned built-in Bluetooth or RF modem. Both of them provide the incredible advantage of enabling user view real time data transmitted by the sensor and the alarm status at the site headquarters or command center. Along with offering real-time wireless data transmission, it also provides real-time data transmissions. It can be operate from two miles if a RAElink3 portable modem is used.

Advanced PID technology

PID stands for photoionization detector. MiniRAE 3000 system provides three-second response time as well as a range which measures up to 15,000 ppm. PID technology also has temperature and humidity sensors, which activate humidity compensation when needed.

Durable housing

MiniRAE 3000 can withstand the adverse and extreme environments where it is often needed to be used. It has a sensor that features a waterproof design which can be cleaned easily and decontaminated simply using water that too without causing any harm to the device. This model of MiniRAE also has external defensive element like a powerful rubber boot which can be removed while cleaning or when additional protection is not required.

Before anything, i would like to quote the famous comments from technology writer Stewart Alsop – “I predict that the last mainframe will be unplugged on 15 March 1996.” And in 2002, he admitted that he was wrong.

So whoever think that mainframe is going to meet Dinosaurs fate, they should think again.

I have of strong belief that there are lot good reasons like Reliability, Performance and Security which won’t let mainframe get extinct. Just for the fact, there are no virus threats EVER encountered in a mainframe.

Moreover, a lot real world business data of Big Business Houses runs through mainframe. This data is being used in applications which have been developed and refined over decades with lot of money and effort invested. These application and code is running condition and is meeting the business needs.

As of now, there are lots of migration projects going on to transfer platform from Mainframe to open systems but it is going to take number of years to migrate the code.

This migration involves a heavy cost of applications transfer & its testing and demands a new infrastructure development to support the same business objective which is being achieved by existing system without any hassle! Moreover, whatever the mainframe does, it does very well.

Modern applications like SAP which comes with high customer handling capacity and reliability are definitely a competitor to mainframe but I am pretty sure mainframe is going nowhere and it will rule the world for at least next 80 years.

Moreover there are some latest developments also in Mainframe series computer. The

Latest mainframe computers developed by IBM  referred as zSeries computers are reliable, fast and suitable for more complex and sophisticated field like Medical and defense. As a recent fact, the upcoming technologies like Cloud computing are also looking towards mainframe for its enhancement and development to get robust base.

There is an old saying that “You can’t teach an old dog, new tricks”. This stays good for Mainframe computers as well.

Mainframe can process humungous data in a best possible way. But it doesn’t provide you that visual and graphical user experience that a normal personal/mini computer provides today .Moreover, Mainframe computer doesn’t run on the click of a mouse. You have to give command for each operation. It comes with a black screen of 24X80 character (using 3270/3278 terminals) which is not fancy like others.

When we talk about Mainframe, Compatibility is also one of many major features. No other computer system/architecture can claim as much continuous, hick-up free evolutionary improvement, while maintaining compatibility with previous releases.
