IBM has released AIX 6.1 with three different price levels: express edition, standard edition, and enterprise edition. The express edition costs $300 per core.
Three hundred per core with the features available, GLVM, KSPK, Kernel Recovery, etc.; it is more bang-for-the-buck than you would get with RHEL. Just consider the fact with AIX you have NIM included at no cost, allowing you to do at no cost what you pay $300 per machine with RHEL to do with their Satellite server. With Linux, I feel like I'm floating in a rubber raft hoping it doesn't spring a leak and there aren't any sharks. With AIX, I feel like I'm sailing in the luxury of a 100-foot yacht, with the protection of a US Navy cruiser. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
