Hi - Are there any significant advantages of going with message broker on AIX than on Solaris (from performance perspective), We are currently having broker on windows system and DB2 on AIX and are planing to migrate broker to UNIX platform and are looking to choose between AIX and Solaris
Thanks in advance |

I'd start with the performance reports for the 2 platforms shown here

Choose the O/S that your shop can best support. WMB runs on Windows and z/OS. It will be better for your customers if you choose Windows if no one at your shop can spell z/OS but you have hundreds of Windows servers and lots of expirienced Windows admins.
(no lame Windows jokes people, just trying to make a point)

As the self-apointed Windoze basher of the forum,
 with this view. Performance of software is only one aspect of OS selection.

| Thanks Vitor, Performance reports is a way to go. Is there any other feature that could entice me to go for AIX rather than Solaris (We have expertise in both platforms so it should be hard to choose from stand point of expertise) |

From a personal standpoint I prefer AIX, but that's not to say I don't like Solaris. If you've expertise on both I'd canvas the local teams and see if there's a bias within the people who'll be doing the support.
This of course assumes there's no bias within the management based on cost of license (!)

And realize that the performance reports don't all use the exact same hardware, so you can't compare the #s exactly.

It's tough to get Solaris to run on pSeries hardware. |

I am assuming the performance reports taken on Solaris and AIX are on identical system configuration and in most of the cases AIX is better than Solaris.
Thanks for your input |

Without doing some bench marks ON YOUR specific set of Hardware (both pSeries & Sparc) using the performance guides can IMHO be treated as an indication ONLY of the comparative perfomance of the two systems.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |
