Solaris: Again very good operating system which is very robust until version 9. I am bit reserved with version 10 because its radically different from 9. Tried to do too much in just one version. Again solaris is also cost effective like redhat and offers good customer support. In commercial environments, even though you can use X86 architecture, everyone tends to use SUN's proprietary hardware and SUN hardware is very reliable and solid. Their documentation is also extremely good if you want to learn solaris.




yeah, it was the best operation system. IBMs strength is hardware. SUNs strenght is its software. these guys were the number one in UNIX server segment. but from 2004 IBM is the number in market share. oka time lo inka SUN pani ipoyindi..evado okadu acquire chestharu ane daaka vachindi...they made solaris open source.now the good thing is SUN gaining good market share in server segment. But definately, I believe IBM will aacquire this company in future.
features wise, they are the real innovators. once this guys innovate something, IBM folllows them...

HP-UX - outdated now and prety useless support. Most unprofessional people working for their support. So if you have HP servers and you need any support from them (mostly all of them are in India).. then god help you. Even though I am Indian, i feel appalled at their lack of professionalism.




very true. but there is a saying, once you buy a HP product, you never move to other products.

actually IBM gained from SUN market, but they couldnt gain much from HP market.

AIX: Used mostly for the big companies. Very expensive but offers extreme reliability and very easy hardware reconfiguration. For example, we manage some AIX servers which comes with around 60 CPU (not absolutely sure of the count), but only few of them are activated when you buy them. If you want to upgrade the number of CPU's its as simple as just buying a license and activating the CPU and booom.. you have one more CPU added to your server .. no need to shutdown anything and can be done on the fly. Like i already said, expensive but very easy to use and works only one AIX proprietary architecture.



yeah they sell 32 core(cpu), 64 core machines. based on ur license, they activate that many servers. these guys mainly depends on virtulization. it offers great features...the latest version running is AIX 6.1, they named it as trusted AIX....from 5.X to six series, they have added lot of features.
There will be no root, no setuid programs, trusted software stack, encrypting file system, role based access control, multi-level security, work load paritions, etc.

They are trying to virtuvalise everything. so that they can egt 0% downtime. using WPAR(workload partitions) feature, it creates machine like environments, here file systems and when ever they want to upgrade, they just move, this wpar to another...

But, AIX comes for free, if you buy Pseries machines. it runs only on power architecture. deepblue lo kooda operating system nadichindi..performance wise, benchamarking with other s/ws running ..ide best...

Redhat Linux: extremely cost effective as it can be run on any architecture. Good support, easy to upgrade. One key thing is since its an open source, there are so many people all around the world developing and improving which means you have so many programs/utilities that help you in managing the server in a more effective way. Lastly, you will find absolutely vast documentation if you need any help.




yeah, but does it offer wide variety of features? 0% down time, performance, security etc on par with other operating systems?

As people said it purely depends on the usuage. In our company we have replaced all SUN Sparc Solaris to RH Linux. Now we have each and every box on RH and we use Linux as our OS.

are you talking about personal usage or commercial usage?

Our company has got around 40 clients whose UNIX infrastructure is managed by us.
Some of these companies are absolutely massive. From what i have seen and my experience:

Redhat Linux: extremely cost effective as it can be run on any architecture. Good support, easy to upgrade. One key thing is since its an open source, there are so many people all around the world developing and improving which means you have so many programs/utilities that help you in managing the server in a more effective way. Lastly, you will find absolutely vast documentation if you need any help.

AIX: Used mostly for the big companies. Very expensive but offers extreme reliability and very easy hardware reconfiguration. For example, we manage some AIX servers which comes with around 60 CPU (not absolutely sure of the count), but only few of them are activated when you buy them. If you want to upgrade the number of CPU's its as simple as just buying a license and activating the CPU and booom.. you have one more CPU added to your server .. no need to shutdown anything and can be done on the fly. Like i already said, expensive but very easy to use and works only one AIX proprietary architecture.

HP-UX - outdated now and prety useless support. Most unprofessional people working for their support. So if you have HP servers and you need any support from them (mostly all of them are in India).. then god help you. Even though I am Indian, i feel appalled at their lack of professionalism.

Solaris: Again very good operating system which is very robust until version 9. I am bit reserved with version 10 because its radically different from 9. Tried to do too much in just one version. Again solaris is also cost effective like redhat and offers good customer support. In commercial environments, even though you can use X86 architecture, everyone tends to use SUN's proprietary hardware and SUN hardware is very reliable and solid. Their documentation is also extremely good if you want to learn solaris.

The points i mentioned is just an overview and the usage depends typically on the applications that needs to be run on the servers and their criticality that decides what to use. Ultimately its the money that you have in your companies pocket that will really decide which operating system to go.
