# IRIX ## Identification [[The Open Group|The Open Group]] maintains the Single UNIX Specification and UNIX certification; only conformant certified systems qualify to use the UNIX trademark ([UNIX certification](https://www.opengroup.org/certifications/unix)). [[ibiblio|ibiblio]] and [[Internet Archive|Internet Archive]] preserve and distribute public digital materials. [[IRIX|IRIX]] was SGI’s Unix for MIPS workstations; [[Novell NetWare|NetWare]] was Novell’s network operating system. [[HPE GreenLake|HPE GreenLake]] provides consumption-based infrastructure/cloud services. ## Notebook evidence - [[Scanned_20260730-1719#PDF page 61 — Open-source institutions, global IT vendors, and Unix variants|PDF page 61: Open-source institutions, global IT vendors, and Unix variants]] — The page maps software lineage to institutions that standardize, archive, host, sell, or operate it. Geography may describe vendor headquarters, service regions, or a search filter rather than technical location. - [[Scanned_20260730-1719#PDF page 62 — Unix lineage, HP-UX, Xinuos, and remote enterprise systems|PDF page 62: Unix lineage, HP-UX, Xinuos, and remote enterprise systems]] — The author is searching for continuity across “dead,” legacy, or proprietary operating systems: archived kernels, virtual machines, remote desktops, standards, current custodians, and compatible modern hosts. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this note in a shared evidence cluster with [[HP-UX|HP-UX]] · [[HPE GreenLake|HPE GreenLake]] · [[ibiblio|ibiblio]] · [[IBM AIX|IBM AIX]] · [[Internet Archive|Internet Archive]] · [[NetBSD|NetBSD]] · [[Novell NetWare|Novell NetWare]] · [[SCO OpenServer|SCO OpenServer]] · [[Solaris|Solaris]] · [[The Open Group|The Open Group]] · [[Tru64 UNIX|Tru64 UNIX]] · [[Xenix|Xenix]] · [[Xinuos|Xinuos]]. Within the larger collection, this evidence extends [[Vendor-Agnostic Recovery|vendor-agnostic recovery]] and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]] by showing how software, hardware, identity, and pre-OS control depend on recoverable interfaces. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Separate standards body, archive, mirror, vendor, and service provider. That classification would make the source map actionable. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1719|Scanned_20260730-1719]]
