Transition from Solaris to AIX is not a major hurdle-Support and Convert

March 19, 2009

Analysis of:IBM in Talks to Buy Sun in Bid to Add To Web Heft | online.wsj.com

The impact will not be significant since a transition to IBM AIX (as an example) for Solaris trained administrators is straight forward and not prohibitively costly. The future savings of using AIX versus SPARC/Solaris will far outweigh the conversion/implementation non-recurring cost. Utilizing a gradual conversion approach will enhance the IBM Brand and service offerring since it is done as cost effective and logically as possible in an unobtrusive manner. This is a tremendous win for IBM's customers as well as IBM.
