Can you describe a mainframe at a high level?

i.e., I presume it has more than one CPU and lots of RAM and hard drives, but it's not a collection of distinct servers running a clustering OS. Is it a single motherboard with hundreds of CPUs attached somehow? Is it the size of a server rack?

Please explain like I'm 15.

Let's say I'm considering deploying a VMWare environment for a customer that has 1000 endpoints. Deploying Multiple VZs, a SAN or two, etc.

What would you tell me to convince me to go to a mainframe instead? Would you even do that?

What is the point of a mainframe, and why are they relevant in 2015?
