Santa Cruz Operation

Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) was an American software company founded in 1979 in Santa Cruz, California, best known for its Unix operating systems for Intel x86 hardware — Xenix (developed with Microsoft), SCO UNIX, SCO OpenServer, and UnixWare. The company later reorganized as Tarantella, Inc. and The SCO Group, which became widely known for the SCO v. IBM Linux litigation beginning in 2003. The SCO Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2007, and its Unix product assets were subsequently sold to UnXis, later renamed Xinuos. The historic Santa Cruz Operation is defunct and operates no modern developer platform or public API; this record is retained for network completeness.

Santa Cruz Operation is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Unix, Operating Systems, Enterprise Software, and Legacy Technology.
