LINUX Kernels and leading propriety operating systems from companies such as IBM – SUN – HP have all learned a few lessons from each other along the way. And when IBM’s AIX and LINUX are compared this becomes very evident.

Over the years and increasingly, the LINUX Kernel is being deployed by many sectors of society: Government, Industry and of course Business. In particular, LINUX is proving to be well suited for small and medium business servers. Core tasks can be centralized and dealt with through LINUX without the need to invest in the latest ‘cutting edge’ hardware – A huge plus in an ever fluctuating financial climate. Indeed, have IT Support Services budgets’ ever had to achieve so much with so little? For small and medium businesses the answer to that has to be no… At least for the majority…..

The LINUX Operating System Administration is relied upon around the globe by large and small businesses. Even government bodies have chosen to utilize the flexibility, reliability and security LINUX can provide.

The major difference between LINUX and AIX System Administration is fundamental. It has been there right from the start….LINUX was created by hackers for hackers: AIX was developed by IBM to make life easy for administrators – Well, at least that’s the general idea: An idea only recently taken onboard by LINUX. Nevertheless, LINUX Operating System Administration has significantly matured of late.

Being created by hackers for hackers – as you might expect – much effort has been bestowed upon LINUX to keep it secure. AIX System Administration falls in with most commercial operating systems – usability generally takes precedence over security. After all, in a commercial world it is not wise to alienate the user – Which is why for IBM the AIX System Administrator takes priority over system security. As a result, with regards to Network Security, LINUX is well ahead.

Flexibility
Many of the modern commercial operating systems being flaunted as ‘user friendly’ are able to retain their shining surfaces by effectively locking the interface: While they may be elaborate in their own right, if there is a task which cannot be performed it can be a ‘developer’s nightmare’ to pull it off – And sometimes it may not be possible. In notable comparison, LINUX is extremely flexible.

Hardware
The AIX Operating System requires its own IBM hardware: In addition, virtually every component for AIX System Administration is produced by IBM or is rebadged and rebooted by them…so to speak: Hence, while this system may seem inexpensive initially – Indeed, IBM virtually give it away – The budget can take a hit when it comes to the hardware. And so even though AIX offerings do include some high-end features users are pretty much locked in with regards to options and so cost… With LINUX companies can invariably have the best of both worlds: They can reap the advantages of AIX high-end hardware features. In fact, it is possible to run LINUX – AIX operating systems concurrently.
