OROLOGIO

Featuring Server Manufacturer: IBM

As one of the largest computer technology companies on the planet, IBM manufactures its fair share of servers and other data center hardware. The company was founded in the late 1800s—originally named the Computing, Tabulating & Recording Company (CTR), founded by Herman Hollerith. The name IBM, which stands for International Business Machines, was coined in the 1920s. 

The company made its name by producing high-quality advanced technology and shifting rapidly as new tech appeared. By offering their own software programmed by their own engineers to run Featuring Server Manufacturer: IBMon only one computer brand, IBM salespeople were able to secure clients with long-term contracts. IBM first sold electric typewriters and other machines found in the office. The 1940s and 1950s brought its first forays into making computers . . . and then “Big Blue” really made waves in the 1960s with its first mainframes. The 1970s and 1980s are considered IBM’s golden years. It was named America’s “most admired corporation.” While major losses and big adjustments marked the late 1980s and 1990s, IBM made additional shifts and emerged on the other side with its global reputation intact.

Today IBM operates in more than 170 countries and has nearly half a million employees. It is headquartered in Armonk, New York. Server and mainframe manufacturing is still a big part of what makes Big Blue tick, although it also sells middleware and software, and has become a consulting, hosting, and research powerhouse. Floppy disks and hard disk drives are just two of IBM’s most famous patents—it holds dozens. Below, we will focus on its modern hardware offerings and provide recommendations for the right data center lifts for use with any referenced machinery.
