Digital UNIX é um sistema operativo baseado no UNIX feito pela DEC.
Conhecido à tempos por OSF/1 or DUNIX
The DIGITAL UNIX Operating System is a 64-bit advanced kernel architecture based on Carnegie-Mellon Universitys Mach V2.5 kernel design with components from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) 4.3 and 4.4, UNIX® System V, and other sources. DIGITAL UNIX is DIGITAL Equipment Corporations implementation of the Open Software Foundation™ (OSF®) OSF/1 R1.0, R1.1, and R1.2 technology, and the Motif® graphical user interface and programming environment.
Tipo de SO: proprietary

Digital UNIX continues to dominate the 64-bit arena, leaving HP-UX and IRIX to contest the second position, followed closely by AIX. Solaris and NT trail significantly behind. Digital benefits not only from strong software support for 64-bits, now being matched by other players, but also from top-to-bottom 64-bit hardware support and a lack of the minor compatibility tradeoffs required by other vendors solutions.

As UNIX evolves into a 64-bit operating system, AIX 4.3 and Digital UNIX 4.0d share the lead for delivering commercial UNIX functions. Confronted with AIX 4.3 and HP-UX 11.0 upgrading to full 64-bit capabilities, Digital UNIX draws enough strength from the maturity of its pioneering 64-bit implementation to retain a significant lead for providing the full range of 64-bit features. Digital UNIX 4.0d also leads over all UNIX competitors for PC interoperability surpassed only by NT and scores very competitively in features for Internet/intranet, reliability, and scalability. D.H.
