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. Again Linux is capable, but Linux is a disruptive technology i.e. it is a "good enough" Unix. Incentivized Helpful?	PureDarwin No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Oracle Solaris	PureDarwin
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Alternatives Considered	We used Windows Server quite a bit because of the ease of use for the team, file sharing, Active Directory, and systems integrated with Windows; learning was easier, and the interface was more user-friendly. On the other hand, Oracle stood out for its stability because we provide services that keep environments up and running 24/7.
