Operating Systems (OS)
Operating systems provide a
software
platform
on top of which other
application
programs can run. Application
programs must be written to run
on a specific operating system.
|
|
Therefore your choice of operating
system determines to a great extent
the applications you can run.
These systems
have been fully tested and
benchmarked on all BlueWolf
workstations and servers.
You can purchase any of these
products
separately or pre-installed on a
workstation or server. |
