z/OS
is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe computers, produced by
IBM. It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn
followed a string of MVS versions. Like OS/390, z/OS combines a
number of formerly separate, related products, some of which are
still optional. z/OS offers the attributes of modern operating
systems but also retains much of the functionality originating in the
1960s and each subsequent decade that is still found in daily use
(backward compatibility is one of z/OS's central design
philosophies). z/OS was first introduced in October 2000. The newest
version is z/OS Version 2 Release 1.
