Just to let you know, I am a SUN admin. I worked on an AIX server for about 6 months. So my opinion will be biased.

But not in the way you would think. The one thing I thought about while reading your post was that IBM HAS a volume manager software solution with the OS. SUN has one that is not very good with databases and an additional cost for Veritas will be needed to add into the mix.

SUN makes a great product. So does IBM. IBM has a GUI interface for admins that is very good. SUN does not have anything close to it.

Nothing else I can think of off-hand. And I doubt you can get pass the sales hype. Even if someone put something out there saying they tested one against the other, whoever lost would make valid complaints about the test. Any of the big companies put out good to great products/servers.
