OS/390
<operating system> An IBM mainframe operating system, featuring
integrated MVS, UNIX, LAN, distributed computing and application enablement
services through its base elements. These base services enable open, distributed
processing and offer a foundation for object-ready application development. The
OS/390 base includes a Communication Server that includes VTAM, the VTAM AnyNet
feature, TCP/IP and TIOC. It provides SNA (3270), APPC, High Performance
Routing, ATM support, sockets and RPC.
OS/390 is basically rebranded, repackaged MVS/OE, CMOS processors, RAMAC disk
arrays and open systems extension to networking in VTAM, the principle being
that if you can't compete, rebrand what you have and tell everyone it's
something new.
