Luis Rogelio Toledo Giron Oracle DBA Chose Oracle Solaris Oracle Solaris is Scalable, have a good patching capability and secure by default.

Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Chose Oracle Solaris We make business decisions on a case by case basis but on the whole, our larger mission-critical databases run on Oracle. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Oracle Solaris We also use Linux in our shop. Linux is capable, and a very good OS. Solaris was chosen because we can afford it.

User Testimonials
	CloudLinux OS	Oracle Solaris
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Oracle Solaris is great due to the fact that it actually is meant for high-end servers. Supports a wide range of hardware. The Stability of the solution is great. The documentation does not support some solutions, and there are no other options. Most of the product is still command-line, despite the fact that they've got a graphical user interface in some areas. For some reason, core administration is still done via command-line.
