Line 3:
[[Convergent Technologies]]' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the [[Intel 8086]] processor, which had CTOS as its operating system. This was a modular operating system with built in [[local area networking]]. CTOS supports multiple processes or threads, and message-based inter-process communication.
Companies which licensed CTOS included [[Burroughs]] (BTOS) and [[Bull]] (STARSYS). The single largest customer was [[Unisys]], with whom Convergent Technologies merged to become one company in 1988. At its peak, CTOS had over 800,000 users worldwide.
CTOS ran on [[Intel Pentium]] computers, and could run concurrently with [[Microsoft]] [[Windows NT]].
CTOS is no longer marketed to new customers; former major customers included Police Forces, Banks, and Airlines.
