Book Description:
In 1970, a brilliant engineer left the world's largest computer maker to start a competitor. The engineer's name was Gene Amdahl, and he had been instrumental in developing the IBM 360 the mainframe that introduced the world to large scale computing. Amdahl was determined that he would beat Big Blue. In 1970, he recruited a group of engineers and founded Amdahl Corporation. Development began on the first true competition to IBM. The story of Amdahl Corporation is a testament to flexibility. Early on, Amdahl began to guard itself aginst the volatility of its industry and initiated a diversification into communicaitons systems and storage devices. No longer would it manufacture mainframes instead, Amdahl changed itself into a total solutions provider.
