“Across many industries, legacy hardware – including mainframes – is still common. Whether it’s financial services, insurance, aviation, or car rental businesses, a lot of ‘old economy’ companies are using relics from an earlier era of computing.

They often underpin mission critical functions, and execute millions of transactions in seconds – and are all broadly brought together under the term ‘legacy computing’.” [1]
