Hi System5, Having dealt with many customers over the years, the more astute have selected the application they wanted and then selected the OS of the selection provided by the application provider. For example, running a Database which is disk intensive on a server running anti-virus software

Quick question since we have a lot of very knowledgable HP-UX sysadmins in this thread: Is HP-UX 11i bundled with HP Virtual Server Environment and HP Serviceguard the same thing as what WPAR's are on AIX 6 and what Zones / N1 Grid Containers are on Solaris? What are the similarities and

It tends to be applications driving the OS choice unless it supports multiple OSes, then performance/hardware costs become important and finally support costs. half12, can you elaborate and give some examples of how applications drive the OS choice? I'm guessing that most DB2 / SAP shops

And just because you run Oracle doesn't mean that you have to run Solaris, right? It doesn't, but it'd be foolish not to run Oracle on Solaris. Solaris is optimized for Oracle, and Oracle is optimized for Solaris. Oracle seems to be trying as hard as they can to cut all ties with Sun, even

Hi, Having used Solaris (20+ yrs), HP-UX (10+ yrs), AIX (5+ yrs), IRIX (5+ yrs) , DEC Unix (2+ yrs), Cray OS (2+ yrs) and Linux (8+ yrs) each operating system has its own peculiarities. In my experience as a Systems Administrator you seldom get a choice over the OS you have to use, so if the

Has anybody around here ever used HP-UX or AIX or any other relevant non-BSD, non-Linux UNIX-style operating system before? If so, what do you think are the disadvantages and advantages of these other operating systems vis-a-vis Solaris? I found this interesting link that compares HP-UX to
