The term that is commonly used is a 'Legacy System'.
The term is mostly used by people who have grown up along with modern small computer systems and network servers. Frequently in a rather derogatory way.
Many companies are slowly replacing the older mainframe based systems with client-server and similar systems. As new younger staff join the company the 'old' systems are the ones inherited from the older employees who are retiring. The old mainframe systems are thus inherited - they are part of the legacy from the past. Hence the term.
In a few companies that went over to server based systems 20 or so years ago the term 'legacy system' is also being used to describe those old systems, so it is not exclusively used for mainframe systems.

What is the historical rate of demise of mainframe computers?
A mainframe computer is a large computer system that use to be manufactured. The historic demise of the mainframe computer began in the late 1980s when manufactures began making smaller models.
How is mainframe computer said to be a multiuser operating system?
More than one user can use the mainframe at once.
What is a purpose of a main frame?
They are large in size, processes of power and high level of reliability , amount of storage , mainframe have ability to run multiple operating system. they are designed to handle very high volume input and output and a single mainframe can replace dozens or even hundreds of smaller severs.
Are people considered part of the computer system?
No because they are not connected to it with anything so the answer is no but mainframe technology, hardware, and data are a few the are part of a computer system.
What is a large expensive powerful computer that can handle hundreds of users?
Which of the following are large, expensive, powerful computers that can handle hundreds or thousands of connected users simultaneously and store tremendous amounts of data, instructions, and information? MAIN FRAMES
Why are minicomputers sometimes called mid range computers?
It is small powerful multiuser system with excellent memory capabilities and processing speed. It is less powerful than a mainframe computer but more powerful than a PC. It is just half of the main frame computer in which approximately 50 terminals can be connected and work at the same time. It is frequently used for middle level organization. because it lies between mainframe and PC, so it is called midrange computer.
Does an IBM System 370 computer have more power than an Intel computer?
No. A System/370 mainframe has far less computational power and memory than even a low-end modern computer with an Intel processor
What type of computer hardware only performs useful functions when connected to a larger system like a microcomputer or mainframe computer?

What is terminal in computer system?
A terminal is an I/O device. It accepts output from a mainframe and acts as input to a mainframe. A dumb terminal has no processing abilities. However, it allows you to enter data from it into a main computer, and it receives data from a main computer. In some cases, this arrangement is used to reduce costs.
What is a computer system called?

What are the example of mainframe computing?
IBM system 3 and AS-400 are some examples of minicomputers.
