We took a look back at the fantastic innovations that have powered the IBM Z mainframe platform from its beginnings 60 years ago, which includes some of the folks who have shaped and witnessed the platform as well as those who are leading the charge into the next 60 years.

As mentioned in the video, on May 22 Cheryl Watson partied pretty hard for her birthday. So though we didn’t sing to her – we’d like to again wish her a wonderful birthday.
