The z/OS operating system (MVS' most recent descendant) also has native support to execute POSIX and Single UNIX Specification applications. The support began with MVS/SP V4R3, and IBM has obtained UNIX 95 certification for z/OS V1R2 and later. [5] The system is typically used in business and banking, and applications are often written in COBOL.
An IBM System Z10 mainframe computer on which z/OS can run. z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for IBM z/Architecture mainframes, introduced by IBM in October 2000. [2] It derives from and is the successor to OS/390, which in turn was preceded by a string of MVS versions.
All releases of OS/VS2 were available to no charge because the software cost was bundled with the hardware cost. OS/VS2 Release 3.8 was the last free release of MVS. In the late seventies and early eighties IBM announced: 5740-XE1 MVS/System Extensions (MVS/SE) MVS/SE improves the performance and RAS of OS/VS2 (MVS)
But the company's well-known reputation for preferring proven technology has generally given potential users the confidence to adopt new IBM systems fairly quickly. IBM's current mainframe operating systems, z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, and z/TPF, are backward compatible successors to those introduced in the 1960s.

VSE n, like z/OS systems, had traditionally provided 3270 terminal user interfaces. However, most VSE n installations have at least begun to add Web browser access to VSE n applications. VSE n 's TCP/IP is a separately priced option for historic reasons, and is available in two different versions from two vendors.
OS/390 was introduced in late 1995 in an effort to simplify the packaging and ordering for the key, entitled elements needed to complete a fully functional Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) operating system package. These elements included, but were not limited to:
Older versions of z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM continued to support 32-bit systems; z/OS version 1.6 and later, z/VSE Version 4 and later, and z/VM Version 5 and later require z/Architecture. Linux also supports z/Architecture with Linux on IBM Z. z/Architecture supports running multiple concurrent operating systems and applications even if they use ...
