  • UNIVAC I

    Considered the first commercial computer to be sold, although it was overtaken by the British Feranti Mark I for a few months, and never took into account the Z4 that went ahead almost a year. Doctors Mauchly and Eckert founded Universal Computer Company (Univac), and their first product was this machine. The first client was the United States Census Bureau.

  • IBM 726

    The IBM 726 was an early and important practical high-speed magnetic tape system for electronic computers. Announced on May 21, 1952, the system used a unique ‘vacuum channel’ method of keeping a loop of tape circulating between two points, allowing the tape drive to start and stop the tape in a split-second. The Model 726 was initially sold in 1953 and it was rented for $850 a month.

  • IBM 650

    IBM announced the launch of the IBM 650, a data-processing machine based on a magnetic roller that was capable of repeating calculations if, for example, there was an error. To be 1953, IBM was able to launch a technologically advanced product that included breakpoints in their routines that could be recovered and therefore resume a job without having to start from zero.

    IBM continued with other models, which incorporated a mass storage mechanism called a magnetic drum, which over the years would evolve and become the magnetic disk.

  • IBM 305 RAMAC

    The IBM 305 RAMAC was the first commercial computer that used a moving-head hard disk drive, magnetic disk storage for secondary storage.The system was publicly announced on September 14 1956 1956,with test units already installed at the U.S. RAMAC stood for "Random Access Method of Accounting and Control",as its design was motivated by the need for real-time accounting in business.

  • IBM 610

    The IBM 610 was designed between 1948 and 1957 by John Lentz at the Watson Laboratory at Columbia University as a Personal Automatic Computer. It was announced in 1957, by IBM. Although criticized for its speed, the IBM 610 had a price of US $55,000, only 180 units were produced.

  • UNIVAC l l

    The UNIVAC II, was first presented for sale to the public in 1958. The improvements included main memory of 2,000 to 10,000 words, tape drives that could use the old metal ribbons of the UNIVAC I. It was fully compatible with the programs UNIVAC I exist both for the code and for the data. Weighed around 16,000 pounds (8.0 short tons).
