History
According to the Stratus FAQ, VOS was designed from its inception as a high-security transaction-processing environment tailored to fault-tolerant hardware. It incorporates much of the design experience that came out of the famous MIT/Bell-Laboratories/General-Electric (later Honeywell) MULTICS project.
In recent years, Stratus has added POSIX-compliance, and many open source packages can run on VOS.
