What is MVS? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Multiple Virtual Storage (824 words)
MVS has been said to be the operating system that keeps the world going and the same could be said of its successor systems, OS/390 and z/OS.
Although MVS has often been seen as a monolithic, centrally-controlled information system, IBM has in recent years repositioned it (and successor systems) as a "large server" in a network-oriented distributed environment, using a 3-tier application model.
MVS is considerably more complex and requires much more education and experience to operate than smaller server and personal computer operating systems.
MVS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (957 words)
MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) was the most commonly used operating system on the System/370 and System/390 IBM mainframe computers.
MVS descends from SVS (Single Virtual Storage), which in turn descends from MVT, one of the original variants of OS/360.
The MVS filesystem is based on the VTOC disk structure that IBM has used for many years.
