International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a prominent American multinational technology firm based in Armonk, New York, operating in more than 170 countries worldwide. Established in 1911 in Endicott, New York, the company was originally named the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) before adopting the name "International Business Machines" in 1924. IBM is incorporated in the state of New York. The company specializes in the production and sale of computer hardware, middleware, and software, in addition to offering hosting and consulting services across a wide range of fields, from mainframe computing to nanotechnology. IBM is recognized as a leading research institution, having set a record for the highest number of annual U.S. patents awarded to a corporation for 28 consecutive years as of 2020. Notable innovations attributed to IBM include the automated teller machine (ATM), the floppy disk, the hard disk drive, the magnetic stripe card, the relational database, the SQL programming language, the UPC barcode, and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The IBM mainframe, particularly the System/360, was the preeminent computing platform during the 1960s and 1970s. IBM has consistently adapted its business strategies to concentrate on higher-value and more lucrative markets. This strategy has involved divesting from certain sectors, such as the spinoff of printer manufacturer Lexmark in 1991 and the sale of its personal computer (ThinkPad/ThinkCentre) and x86-based server divisions to Lenovo in 2005 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, IBM has expanded its portfolio through acquisitions, including PwC Consulting in 2002, SPSS in 2009, The Weather Company in 2016, and Red Hat in 2019. In 2015, IBM announced a transition to a "fabless" model, continuing to design semiconductors while outsourcing manufacturing to GlobalFoundries. Furthermore, in 2020, the company revealed plans to spin off its Managed Infrastructure Services unit from the Global Technology Services division, with an anticipated completion by the end of 2021.
