Can Tampa’s T3 somehow become the “Terminator” of IBM’s monopoly grip on the world’s mainframe computer business? Legal actions brewing last week may test that notion.

T3 Technologies, based on West Shore Boulevard, has operated here since the early 1990s. Online, T3 touts itself as “the Other Mainframe Company” by providing mainframe and software services that compete directly with IBM.

Did I say mainframe? It sounds so 1980s, but mainframes remain a huge global business serving giant corporations, banks and defense agencies in need of massive computing power. IBM owns 85 percent of that industry.

I was doing some more work reading up about Linux on IBM Mainframes, something a colleague has been saying “I just have to look at” in the process I came across this article talking about T3 Technologies, a company I confess that I hadn’t heard about. I’m off to read up more, but I wonder if they might be something we should be looking at in the future? Do check them out.
