Advanced Interactive Executive, it is an IBM's UNIX operating system, and the entire system is designed from the network, host hardware system, and the operating system fully complies with the principle of open system.
The following is an introduction to AIX.
The RS / 6000 uses IBM's UNIX operating system -aix as its operating system. This is the most successful, and most open second-generation UNIX system currently in the operating system industry. It is especially suitable for critical data processing.
AIX includes many IBM mainframe traditionally popular features, such as system integrity, system manageability, and system availability.
On the AIX operating system, there are many databases and development tools that can be developed according to their respective needs except for the existing application software.
In addition, on AIX, there is a set of functional and convenient system management tools. There is a mature solution for interoperability, interoperability.
Due to the advanced kernel technology and the best openness of the UNIX, although the RS / 6000 has been announced from today, it has been widely used in all walks of life, and in 1993 And in 1994 in the second consecutive year in the field of Midrange commercial UNIX.
The RISC SYSTEM / 6000 operating system is AIX, which is excellent in performance, open UNIX, has brought together research results on UNIX for many years, with IBM's computer architecture, operating system more than 40 years of experience. To maximize the use of RISC technology, install the UNIX operating system such as AIX.
It can connect to the SAA architecture and can be connected to the network of non-IBM systems. Therefore, it is possible to interconnect with most professional bank existing systems, which will bring great flexibility to future business system development, and decrease investment.
AIX follows a range of international standards:
* IEEE POSIX1004.1-1990
* X / Open Transplant Guide ISSUE3 Basic (XPG3)
* AES / OS Revision A (OSF / 1 Level 2 Qualification)
* FIPS 151-1
* AIX compiler: XLC, C (optional), fortran (optional), Pascal (optional), COBOL (optional)
* The ADA compiler has reached the approval of the XPG3 "member" level.
* AIX supports multiple users, multitasking.
AIX has some other features including:
AIX provides three shell: Korn, Bourne Shell, and 4.3BSDC shell as an optional UNIX system interface;
Security facilities meet the C2 level of TCB (Trusted Computing Base); real-time processing capabilities, this is critical for "transaction" applications (such as retail and banking, etc.), which makes RS / 6000 to get extremely high response and throughput ;
Virtual storage management, when needed, some unused modules can be transferred to the deposit and improve the availability of memory.
Advanced file systems make system management more effective and increase data reliability and integrity.
Can be compatible with DOS applications and data.
InfoExplorer, fast information hypertext indexing system - not only includes text, but also for an indexing system containing sound, an image, which is an online file interface. Includes all hypertext indexes and lookups, as well as multi-guidance and indexing systems for tasks and coordinates. This text and graphics index system use detailed information and training materials in a flexible, task-based approach. Advanced System Management Tool (SMIT, System Management Interface Tool). Provide first-level menu drivers, such as completing software installation and settings, settings and management of devices, measurement, storage management, etc. I / O device settings can be performed automatically, and the ASCII terminal can also act as a system console. The remote system installation can be performed on the LAN.
