Alpha workstations and servers. The Digital UNIX operating
system is a multi-user/multitasking, 64-bit, advanced
kernel architecture based on Carnegie Mellon University's
Mach kernel design with components from Berkeley Software
Distribution (BSD), UNIX System Laboratories System
V Release 4.0, other software sources, the public domain,
and from Digital Equipment Corporation. True64 Unix
is shipped with CDE/Desktop,
the OSF/Motif graphical user interface and programming

OpenVMS
is a general-purpose, Real Time and multi-user operating
system that runs in both production and development
environments. OpenVMS Alpha supports Alpha series
computers, while OpenVMS VAX supports VAX, MicroVAX,
VAXstation, and VAXserver series computers. OpenVMS
software supports industry standards, facilitating
application portability and interoperability. OpenVMS
provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support for
multiprocessing Alpha and VAX systems.
The OpenVMS Alpha operating system provides support
for 64bit virtual memory addressing and Very Large
Memory (VLM). The OpenVMS operating system can be
tuned to perform well in a wide variety of environments.
This includes combinations of compute-intensive, I/O-intensive,
client/server, real-time, and other environments.

- VMS is the old Real
Time and multi-user operating system that runs on Dec
Vax machines. It was the DEC Operating system before
the OpenVMS generation, and there is still sites and
applications that run exclusively under this environment.
