Scientific Data Systems, or SDS, was an American computer company founded in September 1961 by Max Palevsky, a veteran of Packard Bell and Bendix, along with eleven other computer scientists. SDS was an early adopter of integrated circuits in computer design and the first to employ silicon transistors. The company concentrated on larger scientific workload focused machines and sold many machines to NASA during the Space Race. Most machines were both fast and relatively low priced.

  • Scientific Data Systems, or SDS, was an American computer company founded in September 1961 by Max Palevsky, a veteran of Packard Bell and Bendix, along with eleven other computer scientists. SDS was an early adopter of integrated circuits in computer design and the first to employ silicon transistors. The company concentrated on larger scientific workload focused machines and sold many machines to NASA during the Space Race. Most machines were both fast and relatively low priced. The company was sold to Xerox in 1969, but mismanagement and dwindling sales caused Xerox to close the division in 1975 at a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars. During the Xerox years the company was officially Xerox Data Systems, or XDS.
  • Scientific Data System (SDS) est le nom d'une ancienne compagnie informatique américaine. Elle a été fondée en 1961 par un ancien de Packard Bell, et a fourni des machines à la NASA dans les années 1960. Sa profitabilité la fit racheter par Xerox en 1969; Xerox se préparait à la chute de ses brevets dans le domaine public et cherchait à diversifier ses activités. SDS devint alors XDS (« Xerox Data Systems »), mais perdit également sa compétitivité.
