VMS (Virtual Memory System) was a landmark operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation ( #DEC ) between 1975 and 1977, in conjunction with the design of the #VAX (Virtual Address eXtension) architecture. Conceived as a next-generation environment to succeed the #PDP11 line and its RSX operating systems, VMS was engineered to exploit the full capabilities of 32-bit virtual memory addressing.

DEC鈥檚 hardware and software teams collaborated closely to ensure seamless integration between the VAX hardware and the VMS operating system, reflecting DEC鈥檚 philosophy of vertically integrated system design. The project鈥檚 technical leadership was provided by Dave Cutler, Dick Hustvedt, and Peter Lipman. Their architectural vision and engineering discipline produced one of the most influential minicomputer operating systems of its time.
