Xinuos is an American software company that was created in 2009 and creates and sells operating system software. It was first called UnXis until assuming its current name in 2013. Its headquarters are in Berkeley, California.
UnXis was formed when the operating assets of The SCO Group, which had been in bankruptcy for several years, were acquired in a public auction in April 2011 by Stephen L. Norris and a Middle East private equity group for the price of $600,000. In particular, the company took over the product names, ownership, and maintenance of The SCO Group's flagship operating system products, OpenServer and UnixWare.
The SCO Group's litigation rights against IBM and Novell did not transfer to UnXis, and The SCO Group subsequently renamed itself to The TSG Group. UnXis, and later Xinuos, indicated in 2011, and again in 2013, that it has no involvement in any ongoing aspects of that litigation.
Initially, UnXis was headquartered in Nevada and its CEO was Richard Bolandz. In June 2013, it changed its name to Xinuos. By then its President was Sean Snyder. The company also has facilities in Berkeley, California, in Florham Park, New Jersey, in Bad Homburg, Germany, and in Tokyo, Japan.
In June 2015, Xinuos announced OpenServer 10, which is based on the FreeBSD operating system. Simultaneously, Xinuos introduced a migration path for existing customers using older OS products. In December 2015, Xinuos released "definitive" versions of OpenServer 5, OpenServer 6, and UnixWare 7, which are upwardly compatible with OpenServer 10.
