Univention Corporate Server (UCS) is a server operating system derived from Debian GNU/Linux with an integrated management system for the central and cross-platform administration of servers, services, clients, desktops and users as well as virtualized computers operated in UCS. Since UCS 4.0 virtual machines can be managed on local servers and on cloud platforms, which are based on OpenStack and Amazon EC2. Univention also supports the functions provided in many companies by Microsoft Active Directory for the administration of computers operated with Microsoft Windows via the integration of the open source software Samba 4. Since UCS 3.1, UCS-based components and established third party products, which are certified for UCS, can be installed and integrated via the Univention App Center. Since UCS 4.0-2, also Docker containers can be run on UCS systems. Univention is a member of the Open Source Business Alliance and supports the creation of the Open Source Business Alliance open source software stacks. == History == The impulse for the development of UCS, which began in 2002, was the lack of a standardised Linux server operating system offering companies and organisations an alternative to Microsoft’s domain concept with the proprietary directory service Active Directory. Comparable Linux solutions (e.g., from SUSE and Red Hat) did not offer an integrated, cross-system user and computer management system, with the result that corresponding solutions had to be configured and maintained individually. Important early driving forces for the development of UCS were initially the Oldenburgische Landesbank and the department of the Bremen Senator for Education and Science, until the product was ready for market launch at the end of 2004. Since then, in addition to new versions, a number of software solutions based on the main product UCS have also been launched. UCS is predominantly employed in the German-speaking world by companies and public organisations from a wide range of sectors and fields, among others by the regional government authority of the federal state Brandenburg. In 2005, Univention began to market UCS also in other German-speaking countries. Today, UCS is used in many European countries and also outside of Europe, for example, in Australia, Nigeria and the USA where Univention established a subsidiary in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Univention Corporate Server」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
