Mainframes are powerful computers which are usually highly secure and allow massive data crunching for many users. On the other hand, they are expensive, and sometimes require special environmental handling.

Mainframes can serve hundreds, even thousands of workstations simultaneously. They are primarily used for high-speed data transactions, particularly in the finance and banking industries, but also in airline reservations. Basically anywhere that requires a large data centre with multiple user-access. Cloud-based computing can provide similar functionality and, in some cases, can replace mainframe usage outright, but the need to maintain direct control over the data is usually the primary concern.
