Original version of the BASIC programming language.
The GE-225 was paired with the much simpler DATANET-30 (DN-30) machine and a hard drive connected to both machines in order to share programs.
Dartmouth Time Sharing System
Discontinued operating system first developed at Dartmouth College between 1963 and 1964.
In particular, they evaluated candidate computers from Bendix, GE, and IBM, and settled upon the GE-225 system paired with a DATANET-30 communications processor.
IDMS
Network model (CODASYL) database management system for mainframes.
The original platforms were the GE 235 computer and GE DATANET-30 message switching computer: later the product was ported to IBM mainframes and to DEC and ICL hardware.
GXS Inc.
Subsidiary of OpenText Corporation headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States.
As the power of the mainframes increased, GE replaced the dedicated DATANET-30 (DN-30) communications computers with a multi-tier network composed of DN-30 and other computers forming a world-wide star network topology with redundant circuits and switchers.
