3 unusual facts about Banyan Systems


Banyan Systems

In 1988 Banyan announced a new server, based on the Intel 80386 microprocessor, known as the Corporate Network Server (CNS).

In 1986 the corporation recognized that the IBM PC-AT architecture had become an industry standard, and that lack of VINES support for an industry standard PC server architecture was limiting its sales capabilities, and began work on porting VINES to an Intel 80286-based version of SVR3.

In early 1990 Banyan released a new version of the CNS, using an Intel 80486 processor.
