What is OSF-DCE?

Answer Posted / guest

DCE is the Distributed Computing Environment, from the Open
Software Foundation. (It is called "the DCE" by sticklers
for grammatical consistency.)

DCE consists of multiple components which have been
integrated to work closely together. They are the Remote
Procedure Call (RPC), the Cell and Global Directory
Services (CDS and GDS), the Security Service, DCE
Threads, Distributed Time Service (DTS),and Distributed
File Service (DFS). The Threads, RPC, CDS, Security, and
DTS components are commonly referred to as the "secure
core" and are the required components of any DCE
installation. DFS is an optional component.

DCE is called "middleware" or "enabling technology." It is
not intended to exist alone, but instead should be
integrated or bundled into a vendor's operating system
offering. DCE's security and distributed filesystem, for
example, can completely replace their current, non-network,
analogs.
