Open Systems



Open systems are computer systems that provide either interoperability, portability, or freedom from proprietary standards, depending on user's perspective. It can also be defined as a system that allows access by other systems, hence “open” system.

Unix and Linux

The example of choice for open systems are the many flavors of Unix. All of them follow a common definition of standards that enables cross-platform development and portability. In recent years, the coming of Linux has further enhanced the Open Systems visions. Where the corporate Unix solutions used to have restrictive price tags, the Linux solutions are well-suited for small and big companies alike.
