Berkeley Software Design
Appearance
Berkely Software Design Inc. was a corporation which developed and sold licences to BSDi, a commercial and partially proprietary variant of the BSD operating system. The name was chosen for its similarity to "Berkeley Software Distribution" the source of their primary product. They contributed code and resources back to the open source BSD community.
In 2000, they merged with Walnut Creek CDROM, a distributor of CD content. In 2001, they sold BSD/OS to Wind River Systems and renamed themselves iXsystems, with plans to specialize in hardware. iXsystems server business was acquired in 2002 by Offmyserver.
