UXP/DS is a discontinuedUnixoperating system developed byFujitsu for its line ofworkstations andnetwork servers. UXP/DS is based onAT&TSystem V Release 4 (SVR4), and targets Fujitsu's DS/90 7000 series of computers, as well as some GP7000 series computers.
In 1991, Fujitsu announced the DS/90 7000 series of workstations and servers, powered bySPARC processors, and running the UXP/DS operating system.[1]
In 1998, Fujitsu's new GP7000 series (GRANPOWER 7000) was divided into three parts. Series "S" represented their previous systems running UXP/DS. Series "D" represented their new systems also running UXP/DS. Series "F" represented their new systems runningSolaris operating system. GP7000F running Solaris became the basis for later lines of Fujitsu Unix servers.[2]
In 1999, UXP/DS on the DS/90 7000 series was one of the reference platforms for theCommon Desktop Environment (CDE).
In 2000, when Fujitsu released its new PRIMEPOWER line of Unix servers, only Solaris was available as an option for the operating system.[3]
