Supported platforms include VMware and Hyper-V virtualization, Windows and Linux operating systems, Amazon S3, and Google cloud storage, among others. All control and configuration operations are done using a single user interface. Exec Backup also provides integrated deduplication, replication, and disaster recovery capabilities and helps manage multiple backup servers or multi-stage tape loaders. Exec's backup has an installation process that is well automated. Installing a backup Exec 15 on 2012 R2 system takes about 30 minutes. The installation master can be launched from Exec Installation Media backup or remote control to displace agents on physical servers, Hyper-V/VMware virtual machines, application/database systems that , Exchange, Oracle, S'L and other supported platforms operate. Using customer/server design, Backup Exec backs up and restores capabilities for servers, applications, and workstations across the network. Exec backup restores data, applications, databases, or systems, from a separate file, mailbox, table object, to the entire server. Current versions of the software support Microsoft, VMware and Linux, among a longer list of supported hardware and software. When used with tape drives, Backup Exec uses the Microsoft Tape (MTF) format, which also uses Windows NTBackup, backup utilities included in Microsoft S'L Server, and many other backup providers and is compatible with BKF. Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) was originally Maynard (first authors of Backup Exec) proprietary backup tape format and later licensed by Microsoft as a standard Windows tape format. In addition, microsoft also licensed and included the Backup Exec backup engine in Windows NT, the back version of Windows. In addition, the Backup Exec family of agents and options offers features to scale the Exec Backup environment and expand the platform and function function function Exec 20.6 backup is the latest version of Veritas backup and recovery software. History within the back part of the data protection spectrum, one Veritas product, Backup Exec, has been on the market for more than two decades. From the early days of Microsoft's journey to turn its Windows Server into the world's dominant client server, Backup Exec was one of the few technologies to protect it. As WinSvr became the platform of choice to provide application capabilities and user performance, support for the Backup Exec media/platform, application support, and internal work grew at a similar pace. Backup Exec has a long history of successive owner-in-house companies. Its early roots date back to the early 1980s, when Maynard Electronics wrote a set of driver software to help sell its tape products. 1982 - Maynard Electronics started. Maynard's software is known as MaynStream. 1989 - Maynard is acquired by Archive Corp. MaynStream is available for DOS, Windows, , OS/2 and NetWare. 1991 - The quest Development Corporation is independently established to develop backup software under contract for Symantec. 1993 - Conner Peripherals acquires Archive Corp. and renames Backup Exec software. 1993 - The quest acquires the rights to FastBack for Macintosh, and hired its main author, Tom Chappell, from Fifth Generation Systems. One of the first iterations of Backup Exec - Maynard's Maynstream1994 - Conner creates a subsidiary of Arcada Software, acquiring the quest and combining it with the existing software division. 1995 - Arcada acquires SyTron from Rexon, including OS/2 backup software. 1996 - Conner is acquired by Seagate Technology and Arcada is merged into a subsidiary of Seagate Software. 1999 - VERITAS Software acquires seagate Software Network Management and Storage Group, which included Backup Exec. 2005 - Symantec acquires VERITAS, including Backup Exec. 2016 - Veritas Technologies re-launches as a newly independent company that contains Exec Backup components. The Backup Exec server is a Windows server that launches Exec software and backup services that control backup and repair operations, is attached to storage and controls, supports the Backup Exec database, media catalogs, and hardware directories of the Backup Exec console, which is the interface for managing the Backup Exec server. The administration console can work directly on the Exec Backup server remote system (using the Backup Exec Remote Administration Console). Storage devices attached to the Backup Exec server contain media that write backup data. Exec backup supports many different types of devices and media, including cloud, drive, and tape. Exec backup supports an unlimited number of customers, NDMP-NAS systems, tape drives, and tape libraries. Customers are systems containing data that back up the Exec backup server. Customers can include database servers, application servers, file servers, and individual workstations. Illustration of additional Exec and Options backup components expands the capabilities and functionality of Exec's main backup server to support the most common server applications, including Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and S'L Server, Oracle, Windows and Linux customers, server OS, and Hyper-V hypervisors and VMware. Not all agents are agents in the traditional sense. For example, VMware and Hyper-V do not back up. The agent simply collects metadata (takes a few seconds), so the Exec backup can perform granular recovery directly from the store at a point in the future - no installation required. Here's a list of Backup Exec Agents and Options: 12 Agents Options Agent for VMware and Hyper-V Agent Option Option for Applications and Enterprise Server Option Agent Databases for Windows NDMP Option Agent for Mac (No Longer Supported BE16 (13) Library Expansion Agent Option for Linux Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Unlimited Drive Option Remote Media Agent for Linux (RMAL) Installation , remote computer, in a virtual environment, or on a public cloud Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) virtualization platform. Today, Backup Exec only supports the installation of the Backup Exec server on 64-bit operating systems. However, the Windows Agent can be installed on 32-bit operating systems. Several methods are available to install exec backup. If Backup Exec detects any configuration issues that can be fixed during installation, or that may interfere with installation, warnings appear. Exec backup can be installed with the following: 16 Installation Master from a backup exec media installation that guides through the installation process. The Exec Backup Push-Up installation on remote computers through Terminal Services and installation tools is on the overall drive (share of the network). A command line called silent mode installation. Silence Setup.exe program on Backup Exec installation tools. In addition, Exec Backup Installation Tools also have a remote admin function that can be on a remote computer or workstation to remotely control the Backup Exec server. Exec Backup Can Install Additional Products: 18 Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Microsoft.NET Framework 4.6 Microsoft Visual C e 2008 ServicePack 1 Redistribute MFCSecurity Package Update Microsoft Visual C 2010 ServicePack 1 Pere Distributed package MFC Security Update Microsoft Visual C 2012 Redistributed Package Microsoft Visual C' 2015 Redistributed Package Microsoft S'L Server 2014 Express with SP2 Configuration Backup Exec installation may have one or more exec backup servers Exec that are responsible for moving data from one or more places to the storage environment, including the cloud, drive, tape, and OST device. The data can be from a local system or from a remote system. There are two main Exec Backup Architectures: Central Server Administrator Architecture 1. A separate Exec (two-tier) backup configuration to one Backup Exec server is assigned the standalone role of exec backup server. Each server runs Backup Exec software and services that control and restore multiple customers. Each Exec backup server maintains its own Backup Exec database, media catalogs, and device directories. 2. Configuration of the Central Admin Server (CASO) (Three-Tier) Large environments may contain multiple Exec backup servers responsible for backing up different client systems. Exec backup servers in larger environments can work independently if each server is operated separately. Separate server management may not be a problem if there are only two or three Exec backup servers, but this can become cumbersome as the environment grows. Backup Exec can centralize the management of multiple Exec backup servers with an add-on option called Backup Exec Central Admin Server Option (CASO). CASO ensures that everything on the network is protected by a single system that can be controlled from a single console, and balances the workload on all backup servers in the environment. In the CASO environment, one Backup Exec server can be configured as a Central Administrator Server (CAS), while other Exec backups become managed Exec backup servers (MBESs) that are managed by CAS. The OSAGO configuration makes it easier to manage and monitor corporate-level environments.

Backup Exec Command Line Interface - SUPPORT for BEMCLI for leading network topology Advanced VSS support OpenStorage (OST) support IPv4 and IPv6 support 51 Multiplexing Restrictions Backup Exec has no support for sending data streams from multiple parallel backup jobs on single tape drives, which Veritas calls multiplexing. Their NetBackup product has this capability. Multiplexing can shorten backup time by backing up data from unsteady sources containing millions of small or highly fragmented files that require a very large amount of heading using traditional mechanical hard drives, and which significantly slow down the backup process. When only one job is running, and the original server is constantly looking at high speed, the tape drive slows down or can stop waiting for the recording cache to fill out. These data access delays can result in over-release windows when multiple servers with slow backup speeds one by one on tape devices. The workaround is to install temporary storage of disks on a backup server for use as a cache for the backup process. This store is divided into hundreds of small blocks of 1-5 gigabyte data. Backups of data blocks can be done in parallel, and each of the individual disks, based on the job backup, is set up to duplicate and the application to the tape after completion.

The name means Operating System/2 because it was introduced as part of the same generation change release as IBM's Personal System/2 (PS/2) personal computer line. The first version of OS/2 was released in December 1987, and newer versions were released until December 2001. OS/2 is conceived as a protected successor mode to PC DOS. Notably, the underlying system calls were simulated after MS-DOS calls; their names even started with Dos, and you could create Family Mode apps - text mode applications that could work on both systems. Because of this heritage OS/2 bears a resemblance to Unix, Xenix and Windows NT. IBM discontinued OS/2 support on December 31, 2006. Since then, OS/2 has been developed and maintained under IBM license by two different third-party vendors who have positioned OS/2 under different names - first Serenity Systems as eComStation since 2001 and then Arca Noae LLC as ArcaOS from 2017. Development history 1985-1989: The collaborative development of OS/2 1.0 included a text-mode interface similar to MS-DOS OS/2 development began when IBM and Microsoft signed the Joint Development Agreement in August 1985. It was codenamed CP/DOS and it took two years for the first product to be delivered. OS/2 1.0 was announced in April 1987 and released in December. The original release is textual, and the GUI was introduced with OS/2 1.1 about a year later. OS/2 has an API for video display management (VIO) and keyboard and mouse event processing, so programmers writing for protected mode should not call BIOS or access the hardware directly. Other development tools included a subset of video AND keyboard APIs as connected libraries, so that family mode programs could run under MS-DOS, and, in OS/2 Extended Edition v1.0, a database engine called Database Manager or (this was due to DB2, and should confused with the dbM family of database systems for Unix and Unix operating systems). A target switch called Program Selector was available through a Ctrl-Esc hotkey combination that allowed the user to choose text mode sessions (or screen groups; each can run multiple programs). Communications and database-focused extensions were delivered in 1988 as part of the extended os/2 1.0 edition: SNA, X.25/APPC/LU 6.2, LAN Manager, Request Manager, S'L. OS/2 1.1 was the first version with the GUI of the presentation manager Promised user interface, The Presentation Manager, was presented with OS/2 1.1 in October 1988. It had a similar user interface to Windows 2.1, which was released in May of that year. (The interface was replaced in versions 1.2 and 1.3 by a look closer in appearance to Windows 3.0). Extended Edition 1.1, sold only through IBM's sales channels, introduced distributed database support into IBM database systems and SNA communications support for IBM mainframe networks. In 1989, version 1.2 introduced installed file systems and, in particular, the HPFS file system. HPFS has provided a number of improvements compared to the old FAT file system, including long file names and a form of alternative data streams called Extended Attributes. In addition, advanced attributes were also added to the FAT file system. Installing disc A Microsoft OS/2 1.3 (31/2-inch floppy disk) Extended edition 1.2 provided support for TCP/IP and Ethernet. Books related to OS/2 and Windows in the late 1980s recognized the existence of both systems and promoted OS/2 as the system of the future. 1990: The breakup of the collaboration between IBM and Microsoft fell apart in 1990, between the releases of Windows 3.0 and OS/2 1.3. During this time, Windows 3.0 was a huge success, selling millions of copies in the first year. Much of its success has been due to the fact that Windows 3.0 (along with MS-DOS) has been bundled with most new computers. On the other hand, OS/2 was only available as an additional standalone software package. In addition, OS/2 lacked device drivers for many common devices, such as printers, especially non-IBM hardware. On the other hand, Windows supported a much larger variety of hardware. The growing popularity of Windows has prompted Microsoft to shift its focus from OS/2 collaboration with IBM to building its own Windows-based business. Several technical and practical reasons contributed to this disintegration. Both companies had significant differences in culture and vision. Microsoft advocates an open approach to the hardware system that has contributed to its pc success; IBM sought to use OS/2 to manage sales of its own hardware, including systems that could not features that Microsoft wanted. Microsoft programmers have also become disillusioned with IBM's bureaucracy and the use of lines of code for programmer's performance. IBM developers complained about the lack of commentary in Microsoft code, while Microsoft developers complained that the IBM code was inflated. These two products have significant differences in the API. OS/2 was announced when Windows 2.0 was close to completion, and Windows API has already been identified. However, IBM requested that this API be significantly modified for OS/2. Thus, questions about application compatibility appeared immediately. OS/2 designers were hoping for the source code conversion tools, which at some point allowed them to work fully on the source code of the Windows OS/2 application. However, OS/2 1.x did not gain enough momentum to allow vendors to avoid development for both OS/2 and Windows in parallel. OS/2 1.3 was the final 16-bit single version of OS/2, and the last one, which was sold by Microsoft OS/2 1.x, is aimed at the Intel 80286 processor, and DOS is fundamentally not. IBM insisted on supporting the 80286 processor with a 16-bit segmented memory mode due to commitments to customers who purchased a lot of PS/2 based on 80286 as a result of IBM's promises surrounding OS/2. Prior to the release of 2.0 in April 1992, OS/2 was in 16-bit secure mode and therefore couldn't use the much simpler 32-bit flat Intel 80386 memory model and 8086 virtual mode features. This was particularly painful in providing support for DOS applications. While Windows/386 2.1 was able to launch several collaborative multi-task doS applications in 1988, including extended memory emulation (EMS), OS/2 1.3, released in 1991, was still limited to one 640 kB DOS box. With these concerns in mind, Microsoft began working in parallel on a version of Windows that was more forward-looking and more portable. The hiring of Dave Cutler, a former VMS architect, created an immediate competition with the OS/2 team in 1988 because Cutler did not think about OS/2 technology and wanted to build on his work on Mica's Digital project rather than create DOS plus. Its NT OS/2 was a brand new architecture. IBM is concerned about delays in the development of OS/2 2.0. Initially, the companies agreed that IBM would service OS/2 1.0 and develop OS/2 2.0, while Microsoft would continue to develop OS/2 3.0. In the end, Microsoft decided to change NT OS/2 3.0 as Windows NT, leaving all future OS/2 IBM developments. From a business perspective, it was logical to focus on the consumer line of DOS and Windows operating systems, and to prepare a new high-quality system to maintain good compatibility with existing Windows applications. While it was waiting for this new high quality system to be developed, Microsoft will still receive licensing money from Xenix and OS/2 sales. Windows NT os/2 can be seen in its original HPFS file system support, OS/2 1.x application mode and OS/2 LAN LAN network support. Some early NT materials even included OS/2 copyright notifications embedded in the software. One example of NT OS/2 1.x support is the WIN2K resource suite. Windows NT can also support OS/2 1.x Presentation Manager and AVIO apps with the addition of Windows NT Subsystem add-on for the manager's presentation. 1992: OS/2 2.0 32-bit ERA was the first 32-bit version of OS/2, and the first Workplace Shell OS/2 2.0 feature was released in April 1992. At the time, the suggested retail price was US$195, while Windows sold for $150. OS/2 2.0 provided a 32-bit API for native programs, although the OS itself still contained 16-bit code and drivers. It also included a new OOUI (object-oriented user interface) called Workplace Shell. It was a fully object-oriented interface that was a significant departure from the previous GUI. Instead of simply providing an environment for software windows (such as a program manager), Workplace Shell provided an environment in which the user can manage programs, files, and devices by manipulating objects on the screen. With Workplace Shell, everything in the system is an object that needs to be manipulated. DOS compatibility OS/2 2.0 has been touted by IBM as better than DOS and better Windows than Windows. He managed this by including a fully licensed MS-DOS 5.0, which was fixed and improved. For the first time, OS/2 was able to run more than one DOS app at a time. This was so effective that it allowed OS/2 to launch a modified copy of Windows 3.0, the DOS extension itself, including windows 3.0 applications. Due to the limitations of the Intel 80286 processor, OS/2 1.x can only run one DOS program at a time, and did so in a way that allowed the DOS program to have complete control over the computer. The problem in DOS mode can cause the entire computer to crash. In contrast, OS/2 2.0 can use the Intel 80386 virtual 8086 mode to create a much more secure virtual machine to run DOS programs. This included an extensive set of configuration options to optimize the performance and capabilities given by each DOS program. Any real operating system (such as the 8086 Xenix) can also be launched using the capabilities of the OS/2 virtual machine, subject to certain restrictions on direct access to the hardware. OS/2 2.0 Like most 32-bit environments, OS/2 couldn't run PROTECTED DOS programs using the old VCPI interface, unlike the standard Windows 3.1 mode; it only supported programs written according to DPMI. (Microsoft did not encourage the use of VCPI under Windows 3.1, however, due to poor performance.) Unlike NT, OS/2 has always allowed doS programs to mask real hardware interruptions, so any doS program could thus be behind a dead end. OS/2 can, however, use watchdog on individual machines (particularly IBM machines) to break this deadlock. Later, Release 3.0 used improvements to the new Intel 80486 processors and Intel Pentium, a virtual interruption flag (VIF) that was part of the Virtual Mode Extension (VME) to address this issue. Additional information: VME (CONFEGI. SYS Directive) Windows 3.x Compatibility with Windows 3.0 (and then Windows 3.1) was achieved by adapting Windows user code components to work inside the DOS (VDM) virtual machine. Initially, the almost complete version of the Windows code was included with OS/2 itself: Windows 3.0 in OS/2 2.0, and Windows 3.1 in OS/2 2.1. IBM later developed OS/2 versions that would use any version of Windows that the user had installed earlier, lating it on the fly and sparing the cost of an additional Windows license. It can either work with a full screen using its own set of video drivers, or seamlessly where Windows programs will appear directly on the OS/2 desktop. The Windows process has gained quite extensive access to hardware, especially video, and switching between the winOS/2 full-screen session and Workplace Shell can sometimes cause problems. Because OS/2 only works in components of the Windows custom system, it is incompatible with Windows Device Drivers (VxD) and the applications they need. Multiple Windows apps work by default in a single Windows session - multitasking together and without memory protection - just as they will be within the native Windows 3.x. However, to achieve true isolation between Windows 3.x programs, OS/2 can also run multiple copies of Windows in parallel, with each copy in a separate VDM. The user can then additionally place each program either in their own Windows session - with proactive multitasking and full memory protection between sessions, though not in them - or allow some apps to work together in a shared Windows session while isolating other apps in one or more separate Windows sessions. With additional hardware resources, this approach can protect every program in any Windows session (and every instance of Windows itself) from any other program running in any single Windows session (though not from other programs running in the same Windows session). Whether Windows apps are full-screen or window-based, or in a single Windows session or in multiple sessions, you can use DDE between OS/2 and Windows apps, and OLE only between Windows apps. 1994-1996: Warp Years OS/2 Warp Connect 3.0, featuring Windows 3.1 Program Manager, BASIC in the DOS Window, and LaunchPad (Bottom Center) Released in 1994, OS/2 Version 3.0 was labeled as OS/2 to highlight new performance benefits, and generally to freshen up a refresh Image. Warp was originally IBM's internal name for release: IBM claimed that it used star Trek terms as internal names for early OS/2 releases, and that this one seemed suitable for external use as well. At the launch of OS/2 Warp in 1994, Patrick Stewart was to become a master of ceremonies; however, Kate Mulgrew of the then star Trek series: Voyager was replaced at the last minute. The 37-:p 108 OS/2 Warp offers many advantages over OS/2 2.1, in particular, broader hardware support, larger multimedia capabilities, Internet-compatible networks, and it includes a basic set of office applications known as IBM Works. It was released in two versions: the less expensive Red Spine and the more expensive Blue Spine (named after the color of their box). Red Spine was designed to support apps using any existing Windows installation on the computer's hard drive. Blue Spine includes Windows support in its own installation, and therefore can support Windows apps without installing Windows. Since most computers were sold with Microsoft Windows preinstalled and the price was smaller, Red Spine was a more popular product. (quote needed) OS/2 Warp Connect, which has the full support of LAN customers, followed in mid-1995. Warp Connect was nicknamed Grape. Firefox 3.5.4 for OS/2 Warp 4 OS/2 Warp 4 desktop after installation in OS/2 2.0, most performance-sensitive subsystems, including graphics (Gre) and multimedia (MMPM/2) systems, have been updated to 32-bit code in the Fix and incorporated as part of OS/2 2.1. Warp 3 brought out a fully 32-bit window system, while Warp 4 introduced an object-oriented 32-bit model of the GRADD display driver. In 1996, Warp 4 added Java and speech recognition software. IBM has also released server editions of Warp 3 and Warp 4, which bundled the IBM LAN Server product directly into the installation of the operating system. A personal version of Lotus Notes has also been included, with a number of template databases for contact management, brainstorming and so on. The free ROM OS/2 Warp demo distributed in the UK essentially contained the entire OS and was easily, even accidentally, hacked, meaning that even people who liked it didn't need to buy it. This has been seen as a backdoor tactic to increase the number of OS/2 users, believing that this will increase sales and demand for third-party applications, and thus strengthen OS/2 desktop numbers. This offer was backed up by the fact that this demo replaced another that was not so easily hacked, but which was released with trial versions of various applications. (quote is necessary) The July edition of the Australian magazine Personal Computer in the CD-ROMs software bundle, included the full version of Warp 4, which does not require activation and was was free release. Special versions of OS/2 2.11 and Warp 4 also included SMP symmetrical support. OS/2 sales were mainly focused on network computing used by corporate professionals; however, by the early 1990s, it was overtaken by Microsoft Windows NT. While OS/2 may technically outperform Microsoft Windows 95, OS/2 has failed to develop significant penetration in the consumer and standalone desktop segments; there have been reports that it may not be installed properly on IBM's own series of Aptiva home PCs. IBM refused and instead went with IBM First's strategy of promoting OS/2 Warp and disparaging Windows as IBM aims to drive sales of its own software as well as hardware. By 1995, negotiations on Windows 95 between IBM and Microsoft, which were already difficult, stalled when IBM acquired Lotus SmartSuite, which would directly compete with Microsoft Office. As a result of the dispute, IBM signed a licensing agreement 15 minutes before microsoft's launch of the Windows 95 event, which was later than their competitors, and it severely hurt IBM PC sales. IBM officials later acknowledged that OS/2 would not have a viable operating system to keep them in the pc business. In the workplace OS this section needs additional quotes to verify.

(April 2012) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) Main article: Workplace OS In 1991, IBM began development on an proposed OS/2 replacement called Workplace OS. It was a brand new product, a brand new code that borrowed only a few sections of code from both existing OS/2 and AIX products. It used a completely new micro-channel code base designed (ultimately) to accommodate several IBM operating systems (including OS/2) as micro-channel personalities. It also included new major architectural features, including the system registry, JFS, UNIX graphics library support, and a new driver model. The OS was designed exclusively for POWER platforms, and IBM intended to sell the full PowerPCs line in an attempt to take over the market from Intel. The mission was formed to build prototypes of these machines, and they were disclosed to several corporate clients, all of whom raised questions with the idea of intel's downfall. Extended plans for the new codebase will eventually include replacing the OS/400 operating system with Workplace OS, as well as a micro-channel product that would be used in industries such as telecommunications and tv. Partially functional to alpha version of the Workplace OS was in Comdex, where a stunned Bill Gates stopped at the booth. The second and final time it will be shown in public at the OS/2 user group in Phoenix, Arizona; Pre-alpha code refused to load. It was released in 1995. But with $990 million spent a year on developing this as well as workplace OS, and no possible profit or widespread adoption, the end of the entire operating OS and OS/2 product line was near. The abbreviation for this section does not lead to any sources. Please help improve this section by adding links to reliable sources. Non-sources of materials can be challenged and removed. (March 2013) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) The project was launched inside IBM to assess the impending competitive situation with Microsoft Windows 95. Key problems included major code quality issues in the existing OS/2 product (resulting in more than 20 service packages, each requiring more drives than the original installation), and inefficient and highly matrix development organizations in Boca Raton (where consultants reported that basically all reports for everyone) and Austin. This study, strictly classified as Registered Confidential and printed only in moderate copies, revealed untenable flaws and failures across the Personal Systems Division, as well as in IBM as a whole. As a result, it was decided at the above division level to cut more than 95% of the total budget of the entire product line, to discontinue all new developments (including OS in the workplace), to eliminate the Boca Raton development lab, to stop all sales and marketing efforts of the product, and to lay off more than 1,300 developers (as well as sales and support staff). Last year, $990 million was spent. Warp 4 was the last distributed version of OS/2. 2001: The withering of a small and dedicated community has remained true to OS/2 for years after its final main release, but overall, OS/2 has failed to catch on the mass market and is little used outside certain niches where IBM has traditionally been a bulwark. For example, many banking installations, especially automated ATMs, operate os/2 with an individual user interface; French national railways SNCF used OS/2 1.x in thousands of ticket machines. Telecommunications companies such as Nortel use OS/2 in some voicemail systems. In addition, OS/2 was used for the host PC used to control the satellite operations support system installed at NPR member stations from 1994 to 2007 and was used to receive network programs via satellite. Although IBM began to indicate shortly after the release of Warp 4 that OS/2 would eventually be recalled, the company did not stop supporting December 31, 2006. OS/2 sales ceased on December 23, 2005. The latest version of IBM 4.52, which has been released for desktop and server systems in December 2001. IBM still provides defect support for the fee. IBM encourages customers to shift their often very complex applications to e-business technologies such as Java, in a platform-neutral way. Once the application migration is complete, IBM recommends migrating to another operating system, offering Linux as an alternative. The main third-party development articles: eComStation and ArcaOS ArcaOS is the latest OS/2 operating system developed outside IBM After IBM discontinued OS/2 development, and various third parties have approached IBM to take on future operating system development. OS/2 software provider Stardock made such an offer to IBM in 1999, but it was not continued by the company. Serenity Systems was able to work out a license with IBM, and it began reselling OS/2 as eComStation in 2001. EComStation is currently sold XEU.com, the latest version (2.1) was released in 2011. In 2015, Arca Noae, LLC announced that they had received an agreement with IBM to resell OS/2. In 2017, they released the first version of the OS/2 operating system as ArcaOS. By 2020, there were several releases, and the operating system continues to be active. Petitions for open source Many hoped that IBM would release OS/2 or a significant part of it as an open source. The petitions were held in 2005 and 2007, but IBM refused them, citing legal and technical reasons. It is unlikely that the entire OS will be open at any point in the future because it contains third-party code to which IBM has no copyright, and most of that code is from Microsoft. IBM also once transferred technology to Commodore, licensing Amiga technology to OS/2 2.0 and above, in exchange for REXX script language. This means that OS/2 may have some code that was not written by IBM, which may prevent the open source OS from being re-announced in the future. On the other hand, IBM donated Object REXX to Windows and OS/2 to the Open Object REXX project supported by the REXX Language Association on SourceForge. There was a petition organized by OS2World to open parts of the OS. Open source operating systems such as Linux have already profited from OS/2 indirectly through the release of IBM's improved JFS file system, which was ported from the OS/2 code base. Because IBM has not released the source of the OS/2 JFS driver, the developers returned the Linux driver to eComStation and added download functionality from the JFS section. This new JFS driver was integrated into eComStation v2.0 and then ArcaOS 5.0.0. The summary of the release dates applies to U.S. English editions, unless otherwise stated.

It's similar in functionality to the carrying version of the X11 or Windows GDI. In addition, the Shell workplace (WPS) presented in OS/2 2.0. WPS is an object-oriented shell that allows the user to perform traditional computational tasks such as accessing files, printers, running out-of-date programs, and advanced object-oriented tasks using embedded and third-party application objects that have expanded the shell in an integrated way that is not available on any other major operating system. WPS follows IBM Common User Access UI standards. WPS presents objects such as disks, folders, files, program objects, and printers using the System Object Model (SOM), which allows you to share code between applications, possibly written in different programming languages. A distributed version called DSOM allowed objects to communicate on different computers. DSOM is based on CORBA. The OBJECT-oriented aspect of SOM is similar to that of Microsoft component objects and is a direct competitor, although it is implemented in a very different way; for example, one of the most notable differences between SOM and COM is SOM support for inheritance (one of the most fundamental concepts of OO programming) - COM does not have such support. SOM and DSOM are no longer being developed. OS/2 multimedia features are available through media management interface commands. The latest update (complete with IBM version of Netscape Navigator plugins) added support for MPEG files. Support for new formats such as PNG, Progressive JPEG, DivX, Ogg and MP3 comes from third parties.

You can help by adding to it. (April 2019) OS/2 also includes a radical advance in application development through sophisticated document technology called OpenDoc, which was developed with Apple. OpenDoc proved to be interesting as a technology, but was not widely used or accepted by users or developers. OpenDoc is also no longer being developed. Network This section needs to be expanded. You can help by adding to it. (April 2019) The TCP/IP stack is based on an open source BSD stack that is visible with SCCS, which are compatible tools. Driver hardware vendors are reluctant to support device drivers for alternative operating systems, including OS/2 and Linux, leaving users with little choice from select vendors. To ease this issue for graphics cards, IBM licensed a smaller version of the Scitech display drivers, allowing users to choose from a wide selection of maps supported by the scitech driver's modular design. OS/2 virtualization has historically been more difficult to run in a virtual machine than most other outdated x86 operating systems because of its extensive reliance on the full set of x86 processor functions; specifically, the use of OS/2 Ring 2 prevented it from working in VMware. Emulators such as SEMU and Bochs do not suffer from this problem and can run OS/2. The VMware Workstation 2.0 beta, released in January 2000, was the first hypervisor to launch OS/2 at all. The company later decided to withdraw its official OS/2 support. Microsoft's VirtualPC (originally Connectix) has been able to run OS/2 without hardware virtualization support for years. It also provided an add-on code that significantly improves host interaction in OS/2. Supplements are not provided with the current version of VirtualPC, but the version of the latter included with the release can still be used with current releases. At one point, OS/2 was a supported host for VirtualPC in addition to the guest. Note that OS/2 only works as a guest on those versions of VirtualPC that use virtualization (x86 based on hosts) and not those who do full emulation (VirtualPC for Mac). Oracle's VirtualBox Corporation (originally InnoTek, later Sun) supports OS/2 1.x, Warp 3 to 4.5, and eComStation, as well as Other OS/2 as guests. However, the attempt OS/2 and eComStation can still be difficult, if not impossible, due to strict VT-x/AMD-V virtualization requirements, and only ACP2/MCP2 is reported to be working reliably. ArcaOS supports the launch as a quality the machine is a guest inside VirtualBox, VMware ESXi and VMWare WorkStation. It comes with VirtualBox Guest additions and driver improvements to improve performance as a guest operating system. The difficulties with the efficient operation of OS/2, at least once, created an opportunity for a new virtualization company. A large bank in Moscow needed a way to use OS/2 on newer equipment that OS/2 does not support. Because virtualization software is an easy way to get around this, the company wanted to run OS/2 under hypervisor. After it was determined that VMware was not an option, it hired a group of Russian software developers to write a host-based hypervisor that would officially support OS/2. This is how Parallels, Inc. and their Parallels Workstation product were born. The OS/2 security niche has few native computer viruses; While it is not invulnerable in design, its declining market share appears to be hampered by virus writers. There are, however, OS/2-based antivirus programs dealing with DOS viruses and Windows viruses that can pass through the OS/2 server. Problems Some problems were classic comparison items with other operating systems: a synchronous input queue (SI): if the GUI application didn't service its window messages, the entire GUI system could get stuck and it needed to be rebooted. This problem was significantly reduced with later Warp 3 fixpacks and clarified By Warp 4, taking control of the app after it failed to respond within seconds. No unified object handles (OS/2 v2.11 before): Threads probably caused system designers to ignore mechanisms that allow a single thread to wait for different types of asynchronous events at the same time, such as a keyboard and a mouse in a console program. Although select was added later, it only worked on network outlets. In the case of a console program, devoting a separate thread to waiting at each event source, it was difficult to properly release all input devices before running other programs in the same session. As a result, console programs usually surveyed the keyboard and mouse alternately, resulting in a wasted processor and the characteristic jerk reactivity of user input. In OS/2 3.0, IBM presented a new challenge to this particular issue. Historical use Of This section requires additional citations to verify.

(June 2011) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) OS/2 is widely used in the Export Bank of Iran in its ATMs, ATMs and local (more than 30,000 workstations). Since 2011, the bank has moved to virtualization and infrastructure upgrades, moving OS/2 to Virtual Machines running windows. OS/2 was widely used in Brazilian Brazilian Banco do Brasil had a peak of 10,000 os/2 Warp machines in the 1990s. OS/2 was used in automated ATMs until 2006. Workstations and automated ATMs and related computers were moved to Linux. An ATM in Australia, showing during the reboot that it is based on OS/2 Warp OS/2, was used in the banking industry. Suncorp Bank in Australia still operated its ATM network on OS/2 back in 2002. ATMs on Perisher Blue used OS/2 back in 2009, and even at the turn of the decade. OS/2 was widely accepted by accounting and auditing companies. In the mid-1990s, domestic 32-bit accounting software was well developed and served corporate markets. OS/2 has launched a faulty baggage handling system at Denver International Airport. The OS was eventually scrapped, but the software written for the system led to massive delays in opening the new airport. The OS itself is not to blame, but the software written to run on the OS was. The baggage handling system was eventually removed. OS/2 was used by radio host Howard Stern. He once aired a rant about OS/2 vs. Windows 95 and recommended OS/2. He also used OS/2 on his IBM 760CD laptop. Os/2 was used as part of the Satellite Operations Support System (SOSS) for npr's NPR Radio Satellite System. SOSS is a computer system using OS/2, which NPR member stations used to receive software channels via satellite. SOSS was introduced in 1994 using OS/2 3.0, and was decommissioned in 2007 when NPR moved to its successor, ContentDepot. OS/2 was used to control SkyTrain's automated light rail system in Vancouver, Canada, until the late 2000s, when it was replaced by Windows XP. OS/2 was used in the London Jubilee Line Extension (JLESCS) signal management system in London, England. This control system supplied by Alcatel was used from 1999 to 2011, i.e. between failure to the opening of the unrealized original automatic train control system and the current SelTrac system. JLESCS does not provide automatic train operation only to manual train supervision. Six os/2 computers were distributed along the railway between Stratford and Westminster, bypass towers at Stratford Market Depot, and several formed a central facility located at Neasden Depot. It was once intended to cover the rest of the line between Green Park and Stanmore, but this was never introduced. OS/2 was used by the Uk Co-operative Bank for its internal call centre staff, using an individual program designed to access customers' accounts that do not be easily transferred to Windows. OS/2 was used by the Stop and Shop supermarket chain (and was installed in new stores as recently as March 2010). OS/2 is used on Tramlink ticket machines in outer London. OS/2 was used in Instead of communicating with the user, he connects simple computers and mainframes. When the NYC MTA completes the switch to contactless payment, OS/2 will be removed. OS/2 was used in safeway supermarket cash systems. OS/2 was used by Trenitalia, both for desktop computers at ticket offices and for automatic ticket meters until 2011. By the way, automatic ticket meters with OS/2 were more reliable than the current Windows-flavored ticket readers. (quote needed) OS/2 was used as the primary operating system for the Abbey National Insurance engine and home direct call center using the PMSC Series III insurance platform on DB2.2 in 1996-2001. The BYTE Awards in 1989 listed OS/2 as among the Excellence winners of the BYTE Awards, stating that it is today when Macintosh was in 1984: This is a development platform in search of developers. The publication predicted that when it will be complete and error-free, when it can actually use 80386, and when more desktop sports OS/2-capable PCs, OS/2 will be-deserved-supersede DOS. But even in its current form, OS/2 is a product's a staple. In March 1995, OS/2 received seven InfoWorld Product of the Year awards. Five awards at CeBIT. PC Professional Magazine - Innovation of the Year award. CHIP Magazine named OS/2 Warp operating system of the year. DOS International named OS/2 Warp the operating system of the year. In the category Software Marketing Quality magazine 11 awarded him an award. The Industrie Forum rewarded it with its Design Excellence. Spa Award for Best Business Software. IBM products using IBM OS/2 have used OS/2 in a wide variety of hardware products, effectively as a form of built-in operating system. Product Nature Product How Was OS/2 used? IBM 3494 Tape Library Is used as an operating system for the library manager (LM), which controlled the access tape (robot) IBM 3745 Communications Controller is used as an operating system for the service processor (SP) and when installing, the network site processor (NNP). The IBM 3890/XP1 document processor was announced on November 12, 1988. It originally used OS/2 1.1 Extended Edition on PS/2 Model 80 to emulate the glass control software previously used on System 360. IBM later switched to OS/2 Warp. The IBM 473x ATM is used in IBM's Teller line of automatic machines. It was also used in later 478x ATMs manufactured with Diebold. THE IBM 9672 Mainframe is used as an operating system for the support element (SE). It has also been used in later mainframe models such as IBM 2064 and 2074.
