Description

Formerly a part of AT&T's Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies Inc. is uniquely positioned to mark the starting point of a new class of operating systems with the introduction of Inferno. Lucent's Inferno is a distributed operating system, which means that the Inferno kernel can reside on a number of different devices and appliances which can be programmed to work together. Instead of housing applications and data on a single computer, Inferno acts as a conduit for the free flow of applications and data that reside across multiple networked computers. By using applications and data that are distributed across a network such as the Internet, this architecture allows all sorts of devices -- not just PCs -- to share data and programs.
