Mainframe computing, see the Link here. the Wiki on Univac wrote: Since the 1986 marriage of Burroughs and Sperry, Unisys has metamorphosed from a computer manufacturer to a computer services and outsourcing firm, competing in the same marketplace as IBM, Electronic Data Systems (EDS), and Computer Sciences Corporation. Unisys continues to design and manufacture enterprise class computers with the ClearPath and ES7000 server lines. What I don't quite get is that their "mainframes" are running common, modern server OSes on Intel CPUs. Makes it kind of hard to see how they're anything but big PCs -- at least for someone who was around when "mainframe" meant something. ID: 829400 ·

This was the most expensive and riskiest undertaking by IBM since its inception. Thomas J. Watson, Jr. and T. Vincent Learson, Vice President of IBM's General Product Division and its Data Systems Division, viewed the System/360 as a major step in IBM's road to obtain a large share of the business computing market. The term "360" was chosen to emphasize the computer's versatile nature, covering a 360 degrees radius of business applications. Bob O. Evans, who was in charge of planning and development in IBM's Data Systems Division, chaired a committee to develop IBM's long range computer systems strategy. The committee made its recommendations in January 1962, which included the concept of the System/360. Over 1,000 computers were ordered within the first 30 days.
