Technological convergence is the modern presence of a vast array of different types of technology to perform very similar tasks.
For example, in today's society one can communicate with a friend via mail, online chatting, cellphones, e-mail, and many other forms of modern technology. Though the forms of technology are all very different, they all essentially provide the same basic service: person-to-person communication. The notion of a one to many form of communication have since diluted.
The ConvergentTechnologies Operating System, also known variously as CTOS, BTOS and STARSYS, was a modular, message-passing, multi-process based operating system.
ConvergentTechnologies' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the Intel 8086 processor, which had CTOS as its operating system.
The single largest customer was Unisys, with whom ConvergentTechnologies merged to become one company in 1988.
ConvergentTechnologies was a company formed by a small group of people who left Intel Corporation in 1979.
ConvergentTechnologies' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the Intel 8086, which ran ConvergentTechnologies Operating System - their first operating system.
Convergent later used the Motorola 68010 in their MiniFrame and MightyFrame systems, running a UNIX-like operating system called CTIX.
