BS2000/OSD-BC is the operating system for the BS2000/OSD Business servers.
BS2000/OSD-BC is unrivalled 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. The server scalability from 12 RPF to 4.300 RPF enables tailor-made configurations with high growth potential.

For SQ servers, the x86 architecture ported BS2000/OSD-BC V8.0 variant, and for SX servers, the SPARC64 architecture ported BS2000/OSD-BC V8.0 variant is available as a part of the OSD Extended Configuration Package OSD/XC V4.0.

Efficiency, Innovation, Openness and Continuity are the main BS2000/OSD development goals.

In BS2000/OSD-BC V8.0 emphasis is placed on the following aspects:

  • New Business Server line of the SQ series based on Intel standard processors
  • Performance measures to optimize data backup to fast tape devices (LTO)
  • Functions for simpler and more effective BS2000/OSD operation
  • Enhanced openness and integration ability
