Can anyone of you tell that Why AIX is getting boomed in the Market .. what are the salient features of it .. why are People now a days migrating towards this Server . and how is the Future for this server Operating system ... Why should we use AIX rather than other servers
Reply me Please !

Are you asking about the operating system (AIX) or the hardware (server) ?

Either way, if there's any buzz about it, I've missed it.

AIX has been the IBM standard unix OS for their systems for dozens of years.

I think it's pretty rock-solid. But I don't know if that's because of the OS, the hardware, or a combination.

They say if you can't afford mainframe (or AS/400) and you have a big database then it's the best OS and hardware. Many big oracle and db2 database are running on it. But if you have a thousand user, you really need mainframe. It's business, I guess.

Of course OS/400 and DB2 are integrated and that's a big difference.

Good to hear that AIX is booming, the only problem is that in North America, there's too few AIX administrator.
