distributed computing environment (DCE) an industry-standard, comprehensive, and integrated set of services that supports the development, use, and maintenance of distributed computing technologies. DCE is independent of the operating systems and network types. It provides interoperability and portability across heterogeneous platforms, and provides security services to protect and control access to data. DCE also provides services that make it easy to find distributed resources; for instance, directory service, a DCE component, is a central repository for information about resources in a distributed system. Distributed time service (DTS), another DCE component, provides a way to synchronize the times on different hosts in a distributed system. DCE gives a model for organizing widely scattered users, services, and data. It runs on all major computing platforms and is designed to support distributed applications in heterogeneous hardware and software environments. Particularly important for the World Wide Web and security of distributed objects.

It is worth mentioning that during the 1990’s, the Open Software Foundation (OSF), also a non-profit organisation, has also developed a widely implemented platform for distributed computing called Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). DCE is a middleware platform for heterogeneous systems, used to allow different operating systems to distribute processing and data across the enterprise by providing a coherent environment for developing and running applications. It supports the sharing of information and provides services to mask the complexity of multivendor network environments (Turner 2012).
