I had no idea. That’s interesting. Is it growing as a portion of the overall market, or is it just a set of existing legacy systems that need more and more storage/power?

This. Systems that they don't want to risk fucking up with a failed full re-write and it's easier to keep buying the latest mainframe release (from my understanding backward compatibility in mainframe system is extremely sophisticated).
