Migrating From RISC/UNIX: It's Time to Choose Linux

Overview

For the past decade and more, RISC/UNIX has established a history of solid reliability in the data center. It typically runs mission-critical applications, including back-end databases, and has a reputation for good performance, high reliability, proven scalability and trustworthy security. But these benefits come at a high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). UNIX generally requires expensive proprietary software and hardware as well as budget-draining annual maintenance costs. These expenses are a key factor in recent, widespread migrations to other platforms, specifically Linux.
