Open System (Computing)
Open systems
are computer systems that provide either
interoperability
,
portability
, or freedom from
proprietary standards
, depending on your perspective. For years the term was applied loosely to the many flavors of
Unix
. Since the emergence of
The Open Group
's
Single UNIX Specification
, any operating system that supports the Unix APIs (
z/OS
, for example) can reasonably be classed as an open system.
