  What is MVS? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Multiple Virtual Storage
MVS has been said to be the operating system that keeps the world going and the same could be said of its successor systems, OS/390 and z/OS.

MVS is considerably more complex and requires much more education and experience to operate than smaller server and personal computer operating systems.
