Now part of Compaq, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) has long occupied a leading position in the mid-range computer, traditionally known as the minicomputer, the business computer platform that fits between the mainframe and the personal computer and serves small and medium-sized businesses with its VMS operating system. In recent years, DEC has been addressing IBM's AS/400 platform, the advent of the workstation platforms of Sun Microsystems and others, and the client/server concept of computing. Today, DEC is focusing strongly on Internet systems and software.
