VSE (Virtual Storage Extended) is an operating system for IBM mainframe computers. It is less common than z/OS and is mostly used on smaller machines. It is the successor to DOS/VSE which in turn followed DOS. Thus VSE traces its roots back to the mid-1960s System/360. In computing, an operating system (OS) is the system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations. ...
An IBM mainframe is a large, high-performance computer made by International Business Machines (IBM). ...
z/OS is a 64-bit server operating system from IBM. It is the successor to the IBM mainframe operating system OS/390, combining MVS and UNIX System Services (a POSIX-compliant mainframe implementation of UNIX formerly known as MVS Open Edition). ...
The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a mainframe computer system family announced by International Business Machines on April 7, 1964. ...
VSE originally supported 24-bit addressing. As the underlying hardware evolved, VSE acquired support for 31-bit addressing. IBM has no plans to extend z/VSE's addressing to z/Architecture's 64-bit design — z/VSE's small, efficient applications would gain no benefit. Instead, IBM recommends that VSE customers run Linux on zSeries alongside, on the same physical system, to provide a 64-bit application environment that can access and extend VSE applications and data via Hipersockets. In computer architecture, 24-bit is an adjective used to describe integers, memory addresses or other data units that are at most 24 bits (3 octets) wide, or to describe CPU and ALU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. ...
ESA/390 (Enterprise Systems Architecture/390) is IBMs 31-bit mainframe computing design, copied by Amdahl, Hitachi, and Fujitsu among other competitors. ...
z/Architecture refers to IBMs 64-bit computing architecture for its top-of-the-line enterprise servers. ...
In computing, a 64-bit component is one in which data are processed or stored in 64-bit units (words). ...
Linux on zSeries (or Linux on System z9) is the preferred term for the Linux operating system running on IBM mainframes, especially zSeries servers. ...
JCS (Job Control Statements) are VSE's batch processing interfaces. There is also a special interface used by system console operators. CICS, one of the most popular enterprise transaction processing systems, is extremely popular among VSE users and now supports recent innovations such as Web services. DB2 is also available and popular. Batch processing is the sequential execution of a series of programs (jobs) on a computer. ...
CICS® (Customer Information Control System) is a transaction server that runs primarily on IBM mainframe systems under z/OS or z/VSE. CICS is available for other operating systems, notably i5/OS, OS/2, and as the closely related IBM TXSeries software on AIX, Windows, and Linux, among others. ...
A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications. ...
DB2® is IBMs family of information management software products. ...
VSE, like z/OS systems, has traditionally supported 3270 terminal user interfaces. However, most VSE users have at least begun to add Web browser access to VSE applications. Unusually, VSE's TCP/IP is a separately priced option for historic reasons and is available in two different versions from two vendors. Most VSE sites do add TCP/IP. z/OS is a 64-bit server operating system from IBM. It is the successor to the IBM mainframe operating system OS/390, combining MVS and UNIX System Services (a POSIX-compliant mainframe implementation of UNIX formerly known as MVS Open Edition). ...

VSE celebrated its 40th birthday in March, 2005. The latest release (as of September, 2005) is z/VSE 3.1. z/VSE adds several new features, including support for more affordable SCSI storage devices. SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface, and is a standard interface and command set for transferring data between devices on a computer bus. ...
