IBM Hursley
IBM Hursley is a research and development laboratory belonging to International Business Machines in the hamlet of Hursley, Hampshire, England. Established in Hursley House, an 18th-century Queen Anne style mansion in 1958, the facility has been instrumental in the development of IBM’s software technologies since the 1950s.[1] It is still the home of development for CICS MQ Series technology.
Initially, IBM just used the House and its grounds. In 1963 it purchased 100 acres (405,000 m²) of land surrounding the house and has since erected a large modern office complex employing over 1500 people.
The facility is host to the IBM Client Centre, which offers potential clients a secure environment where they can test company software and work with staff experts on best practices, proof of concept, and proof of technology.[2]
Hursley House itself, a Grade II* listed building, is still used as an Executive Briefing Centre. Its original oak-panelled library - restocked with technical books - retains its former use. The lower ground floor of the house is home to the IBM Hursley Museum, a computing museum that covers the history of IBM Hursley Park, IBM United Kingdom, and IBM Corporation.[1]
