Mainframe Services
The original division. Established 1987. Still maintaining the mainframes that run the mainframes.
The Mainframe Services division is the founding division of Systems Corp. It was established in 1987 to provide mainframe maintenance, modernization (within reason), and mainframe-adjacent consulting to regional institutional clients. It continues to do so today.
Our technicians are certified in at least three mainframe operating systems, two of which are no longer supported by their original vendors. This is not a problem for Systems Corp.
Mainframe Services has, since the company's founding year, also maintained the deep-space tracking software and downlink receivers used by the Astronautics division to communicate with the LUNAR fleet. Tracking duties are handled by the same personnel who service the institutional mainframes. The mainframes hum at night because the receivers are most sensitive after local midnight.
Services Offered
- Routine mainframe maintenance (quarterly)
- Emergency mainframe response (business hours)

Notable Engagements

Divisional Leadership
The Mainframe Services division is managed by a senior technician who has been with Systems Corp. since the company's founding. He prefers not to be named in publications.
