IBM and the Seven Dwarfs

Main article: History of computing hardware (1960s–present)

In the history of computing, the term The Seven Dwarfs refers to a group of seven companies that competed with IBM during the 1960s and early 1970s. While IBM held a dominant market share (often referred to as "Snow White"), these seven competitors struggled to maintain a viable presence in the mainframe market against IBM.

The "Seven Dwarfs" era represented the height of the mainframe competition before the industry shifted toward minicomputers and personal computing.
