History
According to the Stratus FAQ, VOS was designed from its inception as a high-security transaction-processing environment tailored to fault-tolerant hardware. It incorporates much of the design experience that came out of the famous MIT/Bell-Laboratories/General-Electric (later Honeywell) MULTICS project.
In recent years, Stratus has added POSIX-compliance, and many open source packages can run on VOS.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
