z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes, introduced by
IBM in October 2000. It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn
was preceded by 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 has the attributes
of modern operating systems, but also retains much of the older functionality originated
in the 1960s and still in regular use—z/OS is designed for backward compatibility.
