Overall Satisfaction with IBM AIX

We use AIX as the preferred UNIX solution for our database servers, backup servers, and application servers.
  • Logical volume manager.
  • Stability
  • Linux compatibility.
  • Easier VIO management.
  • Better integration with rpm/yum/dnf.
  • Ability to change a filesystem to INLINE log.
  • Logical volume manager.
  • Stability
  • Standard management (has barely changed commands over the years).
  • Cannot tell about prices compared to other products.
  • You get great discounts if using at IBM for it's customers
  • i am not involved in the purchasing.
AIX is more stable is more administrative friendly, being the commands do not change every few years like in Solaris.
