IBM
The founding father of today’s Windows-based PC hardware marketplace. Even today, new PCs still use essentially the same architecture and design, just running 1000’s of times faster than the very first IBM PC way back in the 1980’s. Even today if you want to make a “standardised” and fully supported hardware purchase of either a workstation, server or networking hardware then IBM is able to supply.
With over 400,000 employees and 1000’s of old and current worldwide patents, IBM are still being called on to innovate and develop for every market around the world.
