!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([VINES]) was ad a [network] [Operating System] developed by Banyan Systems for computers running AT&T's [UNIX] System V.
[{$pagename}] is an acronym for [Virtual Integrated Network Service]. Like [Novell INC] [NetWare], [{$pagename}]'s network services were based on the archetypal [Xerox Network Systems] ([XNS]) stack.
James Allchin, who later worked as Group Vice President for Platforms at [Microsoft] until his retirement on January 30, 2007, was the chief architect of [Banyan VINES].
[{$pagename}] provided the standard file and print services, as well as the unique [StreetTalk], likely the first truly practical globally consistent name-service for an entire internetwork. Using a globally distributed, partially replicated database, StreetTalk could meld multiple widely separated networks into a single network that allowed seamless resource-sharing. It accomplished this through its rigidly hierarchical naming-scheme; entries in the directory always had the form item@group@organization. This applied to user accounts as well as to resources like printers and file servers.
