It seems there's a dual usage of word Symmetrix, Maybe yours is EMC

Symmetrix for me was an OS that ran in 1987 on a Symmetric 375 I
bought with UCB BSD 4.2 on NSC 16032 11MHz CPU, designed by
Bill Jollitz President of Symmetric Computer Systems Inc.

Maybe after SCS went belly up, the name Symmetrix came up for grabs ?

Theres also batteries use the name

BTW Later Bill Jollitz back at UCB was author of BSD386 free software
& articles published in a USA mag. (possibly Byte?) later translated
in a German mag. (possibly CT ?). There was later a commercial
offshoot. Somewhere after 2nd patchkit (42 or so?), as feeding
patches back to Bill didnt work, it was branched to NetBSD or
FreeBSD. 30 Year old memories, but I'm not sure wikipedia has it
all & correct, so if you want to correct me, original sources only please.
