z / OS is the current operating system for IBM mainframes. z/OS offers many of the attributes possessed by modern operating systems, but also retains many of the features that were originally in the 60 and 70 and are still frequently used today. Among them we find COBOL, CICS, IMS, DB2, RACF and SNA.
z/OS communicates directly with TCP / IP. The additional operating system z / VM, provides the handling of multiple virtual operating systems ("guests") on the same physical mainframe.
