Open Standards Certification Strengthens Across System Platforms
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19 2007 -- The Open Group, a vendor and
technology-neutral consortium focused on open standards and global
interoperability within and between enterprises, today announced that
both Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS X Server Leopard from Apple Inc. have
been awarded a certificate of conformance to the UNIX(R) 03 standard.
UNIX 03 is the certification mark for systems conforming to the latest
UNIX product standard developed by The Open Group Platform Forum for the
Single UNIX Specification version 3.
This certification is significant as it further broadens the installed
base of UNIX systems in the marketplace to include a popular desktop
platform. In addition, Apple's UNIX 03 certification is a milestone for
the UNIX certification program since Mac OS X is the first operating
system derived from the open source BSD base of historical UNIX products
to meet the certification requirements.
The Single UNIX Specification is a set of open specifications that
define the requirements for a conformant UNIX system. Operating systems
that support the Single UNIX Specification provide a set of standard
interfaces allowing the rich catalog of back office and other
applications that comply with the specification to be easily ported
between the compliant operating systems. With certification of Mac OS X,
end users now benefit from such applications available on a range of
certified UNIX 03 systems available from major vendors, including Apple,
Fujitsu, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Sun Microsystems.
"For over ten years, the Single UNIX Specification has consistently
provided both scalability and stability to end users -- one hallmark of a
tried and true technology standard," said Allen Brown, president and CEO
for The Open Group. "Operating platforms conforming to the UNIX 03
standard assures enterprises with industrial strength products, as well
as an opportunity to avoid limited choice in vendor partnership. In
achieving UNIX 03 certification, Apple has shown true commitment to its
customers in providing open solutions that are warranted and fully
supported."
