Originally released for the IBM 6150 RISC workstation, AIX now supports or has supported a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the IBM RS / 6000 series and later IBM POWER and PowerPC-based systems, IBM System i, System / 370 mainframes, PS / 2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

Since 1990, AIX has served as the primary operating system for the RS / 6000 series ( later renamed IBM eServer pSeries, then IBM System p, and now IBM Power Systems ).

It was developed by Grady Booch, while at Rational Software ( now part of IBM ).

IBM itself did one test implementation of the relational model, PRTV, and a production one, Business System 12, both now discontinued.

The construction of the industrial section of Kista began in the 1970s with companies such as SRA ( Svenska Radioaktiebolaget, now a part of Ericsson ), RIFA AB ( later Ericsson Components AB, and later still Ericsson Microelectronics AB, and now Infineon Technologies ), and IBM Svenska AB ( the Swedish branch of IBM ).

Lotus 1-2-3 is a spreadsheet program from Lotus Software ( now part of IBM ).

For instance, IBM OS / 390, now z / OS, qualifies as a " Unix " despite having no code in common.

However, C language programming is much easier to obtain skilled people in, so most if not all new development is done in C. Since z / TPF allows assembler programs to be repackaged into 1 logical file, critical legacy applications can be maintained and actually improve efficiency-the cost of entering one of these programs will now come at the initial enter when the entire program is fetched into core and logical flow through the program is accomplished via simple branch instructions, instead of a dozen or so IBM instructions previously needed to perform what is known as ' core resident enter / back '.

In addition to CMS, in the early stage especially communication tasks were performed by multitasking VMs ( RSCS, GCS, TCP / IP, UNIX ), and users can run any of the other IBM operating systems, such as MVS, even a new CP itself or now z / OS.

It was originally written for Unix-like operating systems on IBM PC compatibles and is now available for many other operating systems and platforms.

In December 2001 IBM extended OS / 390 to include support for 64-bit zSeries processors and added various other improvements, and the result is now named z / OS.

Instead, IBM now prefers to make key product strides through acquisition ( e. g., the takeovers of Lotus Software and Rational Software ) and to support the development of open standards, particularly Linux.

The System p5 now encompasses the IBM OpenPower product line.

Their commercial development came in work by Burroughs ( later Unisys ), Convex Computer ( later Hewlett-Packard ), Honeywell Information Systems Italy ( HISI ) ( later Groupe Bull ), Silicon Graphics ( later Silicon Graphics International ), Sequent Computer Systems ( later IBM ), Data General ( later EMC ) and Digital ( later Compaq, now HP ) during the 1990s.

The facility is now host to a number of software groups for IBM, including one of its Linux Technology Centers.

The term " IBM PC compatible " is now a historical description only, since IBM has ended its personal computer sales.

Despite popularity of its ThinkPad set of laptop PC's, IBM finally relinquished its role as a PC manufacturer during April 2005, when it sold its consumer PC division to Lenovo for $ 1. 75 billion.

* IBM / Lenovo ThinkPads.

Several computer manufacturers are selling computers with the Trusted Platform Module chip, notably IBM / Lenovo ThinkPads and the Dell OptiPlex GX620.

* Active protection system, active hard drive protection used on IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad laptop computers

The ThinkPad is a line of laptop computers and tablets originally designed, developed and sold by IBM but now produced by Lenovo.

He is notable for the formulation of the design evolution strategy ultimately adopted by both IBM and Lenovo.

In 2005, Lenovo purchased the IBM personal computer business and the ThinkPad brand along with it.

The company sells, installs, and supports products from Citrix, VMware, Apple, Cisco, HP, Microsoft, Lenovo, IBM and others.

Randolph School currently requires all 9th-12th graders to purchase selected Lenovo IBM laptops.

St Leonards contains one of Sydney's suburban skyscraper clusters, with major offices for many large companies including Toyota Financial Services, IBM, Lenovo, Oporto Chicken & Burgers, Manchester Unity, 3 Mobile Australia, Savvytel, Leighton Holdings, Macquarie Media Group and Channel 31 TV Studio.

IBM withdrew from the retail desktop PC market entirely, which had become unprofitable due to price pressures in the early 2000s, and sold the PC division to Lenovo in 2005, just a few years after Gerstner stepped down as CEO.

Major customers include Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, IBM, Dell, Lenovo, Linksys, Logitech, Nintendo, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel ( Avaya ), TiVo and Cisco Systems.

** September 2006: IBM / Lenovo recalls 500, 000 batteries.

Other education or research partners include IBM, Ericsson, Lenovo Mobile, Nokia, China Silian Group, Maipu Communications, Foxconn Technology, ProMOS Technologies and many others.

* IBM sells its PC hardware division to Lenovo, China's largest computer company.

In 2005, after completing its acquisition of IBM ’ s personal computing business, Lenovo announced the ThinkCentre E Series desktops, designed specifically for small businesses.

He developed a prototype into the pointing stick ( known as TrackPoint ) technology which are the distinctive feature of the ThinkPad line of laptop computers ( designed, developed and sold by IBM but produced by Lenovo since 2005 ).

A number of MNCs, such as IBM, Dell, Lenovo, Continuous Computing and Microsoft are located along this road.

The board of directors includes representatives from eleven " Promoter " companies: AMD, American Megatrends, Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Insyde Software, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Phoenix Technologies.

Seven years later, he teamed up with China Academy of Sciences ’ Institute of Computing and co-founded the legend group, known as Lenovo in Hong Kong, which in December 2004 acquired the PC Division of IBM for $ 1. 7 billion.

The series was originally designed by IBM, and then produced by Lenovo after 2005.

It is supported by the major hardware vendors — IBM, HP, Sun Microsystems, Dell, SGI, Lenovo, and Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

Problematic Sony batteries led to battery recall programs at other laptop companies, including Hitachi, Toshiba, Lenovo ( IBM ) and Apple.
