History
Concurrent traces its history to Interdata which was founded in 1966. In 1973, Interdata was acquired by Perkin-Elmer which developed computers under its own name until spinning off the division in 1985 into Concurrent Computer Corporation. Concurrent was in turn acquired in 1988 by the smaller MASSCOMP, which then assumed the name of the larger Concurrent Computer Corporation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
