IBM is also still going, believe it or not. 260k employees, 200 billion market cap, $67 billion revenue.

I'm not sure what they do these days - it's about 20 years since I used an IBM Thinkpad to connect to an IBM pSeries.

Not so much hardware these days, about half of IBM's revenue comes from software (Red Hat related stuff alone probably brings in a ton), and about 20% comes from consulting

It’s a trustworthy name for enterprises. Many executives are old enough that IBM was the Google of their time when they started their careers.
