ITECH3105 Mainframe Systems and Services
Mainframes play a central role in cloud computing. Over the years transaction and database management tools for mainframe systems have evolved to fit the needs of enterprise customers. This unit introduces major concepts and features that are applicable to principles of major mainframe systems such as Customer Information Control System (CICS) , hierarchical and relational database systems including Information Management System (IMS) and Database (DB2), and Storage Management Subsystem (SMS). In addition, the other elements of mainframe system services such as virtualisation, UNIX and Linux are introduced and discussed.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
