BS2000/OSD-BC V7.0

BS2000/OSD-BC is the operating system for the BS2000/OSD Business servers.
BS2000/OSD-BC is unrivaled in providing an available, scalable, high-performance platform for business-critical applications that is totally compatible across numerous versions. At the same time, with its open interfaces BS2000/OSD-BC offers future-proof integration into modern application architectures.

For SX servers, the SPARC64 architecture ported BS2000/OSD-BC V7.0 variant is available as a part of the OSD Extended Configuration Package OSD/XC V3.0.

Efficiency, Innovation, Openness and Continuity are the main BS2000/OSD development goals.
In BS2000/OSD-BC V7.0 emphasis is placed on the following aspects:

  • Data replica and their integration into the BS2000 Storage Management Software
  • Self-regulating functions for simpler and more effective BS2000 operation.
  • SAN integration and autonomous, dynamic I/O resource control
  • Unicode: Additional code sets for the European language area
