What is Mainframe?

Mainframe is a communications platform that combines networking protocols and applications while maintaining user sovereignty. They are an unhosted communications layer that enables reliable secure packet routing.

Why Mainframe?

One should understand that collaboration messaging tools that companies use today present various tradeoffs. Companies such as Google want their user experience to be secure, convenient and real-time, however companies also want to control their own data, not be reliant on 3rd party infrastructure. Mainframe’s goal is to secure convenient communication between organizations and more importantly sharing data between companies. Mainframe believes that one should empower yourself to share what you choose along with accessing your own data.

On November 2017 Mainframe presented Onyx, which is their fully decentralized workplace messaging tool. Their beta messaging platform is already released and could be downloaded and used here on Windows, OSX and Linux. https://blog.mainframe.com/mainframe-pre-alpha-release-fca5…
