I always hear people say how reliable mainframes are.
But if I have a startup that needs to distribute its application among different regions of the world, how does a mainframe help me with that?
It is still a single point of failure.
Has there been any sort of study, comparing commodity hardware and mainframes in this setting?
I'll not argue a single mainframe is more reliable than a commodity server. It should be, given how much they cost.
