Biggest advantage on UNIX - when and if something goes wrong, most scripts are user readable - such as the startup scripts etc, so its easier for a well informed UNIX admin with Remedy knowledge to poke around and bring the system back up again...
A similar situation in UNIX, you might more than likely consider the option of reinstalling.
Another big advantage is that you are very less likely to find a file on a UNIX installation where you do not have a clue what it is there for... Try explaining the presense of all those dll files on Windows. Chances your answer to why a particular dll file is present is 'I dont know - it seems to work so I guess just let it be there..'
I could go on...

Subject: Advantages/Disadvantages between platforms running Remedy
We have an initiative at my work entitled "Why Not Microsoft?". We're supposed to ask ourselves at critical application milestones if we should contemplate moving Remedy to the Windows platform. We currently reside on UNIX with an Oracle database, so Remedy is always being evaluated as a candidate for the move. They asked me today if there are any advantages/disadvantages between running Remedy on UNIX/Oracle as compared to Windows/SQL Server. I haven't seen any documentation or user comments anywhere on the internet, so I was wondering if any of you have any prior experience with this type of move, and if you've seen any advantages or disadvantages to this type of move as it relates to the ARSystem. Thanks
in advance.
in advance.
