OS/VS2 (SVS)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Single Virtual Storage (SVS)[1][2] refers to Release 1 of Operating System/Virtual Storage 2 (OS/VS2); it is the successor system to the MVT[note 1] option of Operating System/360. OS/VS2 (SVS) was a stopgap measure pending the availability of MVS, although IBM provided support and enhancements to SVS long after shipping MVS.
