RE: What is mean by Co > Operating system andwhy...
 
Co-Operating systems, that itself means a lot, it's not merely an engine or interpretor. As it says, it's an operating system which co-exists with another operating system. What does that mean.... in layman's term abinitio, unlike other applications, does not sit as a layer on top of any OS. It itself has quite a lot of operating system level capabilities such as multi files, memory management and so on and this way it completely integrate with any other OS and work jointly on the available hardware resources. This sort of Synergy with OS optimize the utilization of available hardware resources. Unlike other applications (including most other ETL tools) it does not work like a layer and interprete the commands.  That is the major difference with other ETL tools , this is the reason why abinitio is much much faster than any other ETL tool and obviously much much costlier as well.
