MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage)

MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) is an operating system developed by IBM that manages computer resources efficiently. It allows multiple users and programs to run simultaneously on a mainframe by dividing the system's physical memory into virtual sections. These virtual storage areas enable each program to think it has its own dedicated memory, improving performance and resource utilization. MVS handles task scheduling, memory allocation, and data management, ensuring secure and reliable operation in large-scale computing environments. Essentially, it creates a flexible and efficient environment where numerous processes can coexist without interference.
