Subject: AIX vs SUN - HP - Linux
Hi all;
Current Environment:
SP 9076 - 1 Frame, 7 Nodes
AIX 433 ML10
PSSP 32
IBM 3494 (w/ 2 3590 drives)
TSM 415 (soon to be 5x)
TDP/Oracle and RMAN
Oracle 816, 817, 9i
Apache ??
Netscape ??
And a whole slew of homemade Apps made in whatever product happened to be
hot that particular month.
I just received word this morning that management is now considering moving
OFF of AIX and onto either HP, SUN, or LINUX...and basically I need to study
the pro's/con's of each vendor for a meeting later this week. So if anyone
has any websites or personal experiences with any of these other OS's I'd
really appreciate any feedback.
For example how would you rate each vendor's ease of administration for the
oprating system and hardware, overall support, performance and reliability,
or anything else you could think of.
As for what is driving the "potential change", I guess the DBA's/Developers
are frusterated that AIX is considered a 5th tier platform by Oracle (Sun
being #1) and as they have so much invested in Oracle...we need to evaluate
other hardware. ;)
God I love this job!
Thanks for the feedback;
Theresa
