Question AIX versus Networks

HI folks,

Actually i have a network engineer having 2 and 1/2 years of experience in cisco having CCNA certification also. Now my company offering me to move to AIX field. I am new to AIX and do not know more about that field. So i want a suggestion from you peoples, that I have to join AIX or continue in networks field.

1.) I want to know how much the oppurtunities in AIX
2.) Future of AIX as compared to Networks.
3.) perks I can get in AIX as compared to networks...

Waiting for the reply

Dear Mahi,
It's depands on which field you want to specialized. If you think that you like stay in your current field, i think you should do soo.

1) There is not much oppurtunities if you specialised in one thing. However, AIX is considered as most used OS.

2) You would have more future in networks in general. There is a lot of field to specialised in network. For your information, AIX is also part of the network.

3) Not that sure.

Dear Mahi,

Personally I would stay in networks, but it seems as if you don't have any knowledge or experience in AIX. By taking the AIX route, you can tag on your career AIX as another notch. Um... If I had your experience and lacked AIX, depending on how things are going, I would take up AIX as another conquered field.

I just jumped into the AIX field and its based solely on the AIX Server and the networks performance around it. Other than that, I don't get to mess with too many Cisco's or Sun Micro's like you probably do.

Overall, if you're doing well now... stay there, AIX will eventually come to you.
