Re: HELP! HP vs AIX
While they are going to phase out PA-RISC, I think they are going to continue to sell PA-RISC through 06 and support it until 2011.
At least last I read a while back that was the plan. And they may have changed that plan.
Simply moving to a superior chip set, is no reason to claim that HP Unix future is uncertain. Computers are constantly evolving, and HP has spent alot of money in the Itanium arena, so I would doubt that they are going to abandon HP Unix for Itanium.
Also with the newer servers, ugrading from PA-RISC to Itanium should be a simple in box change if memory serves from some other information I have read recently. Clearly there is no reason to fear the future of HP Unix.

Re: HELP! HP vs AIX
AS others indicated, the end of PA-RISC does not mean end of HP-UX. The Itanium boxes are getting stable now with the newer firmware versions.
I have worked with Itanium midrange servers for the past 1 year and can confidently say that most of the initial problems they had, have been ironed out.
HP-UX is already available on Itanium platform and is doing good. I am sure IBM will point out lot of issues/articles about Itanium, but the issues were during the initial stages of Itanium and presently the systems are reliable as your PA-RISC systems.
With regards,
Mohan.

Re: HELP! HP vs AIX
With HP you will still have ther HPUX in addition to the Linux.
As mentioned earlier, the support for HPUX is far superior to IBM's support. This forum is just 1 example - and this is a user forum at that. What does AIX have in comparison?
IBM has been losing money on their UN*X support and services for some time now. They are trying to push into running and managing companies IT infrastructure. This means that the jobs of the UNIX SAs is questionable as these companies start outsourcing to IBM. And then IBM outsources overseas.
For databases, Oracle has a very small install base on AIX. Oracle does not like AIX. Oracle is not compiled on AIX - it is ported.

And "HP-UX 11i v2 on HP Integrity servers delivers enterprise UNIX at up to 20% lower TCO than IBM AIX with p-series and SUN Solaris with SUN Fire servers. Don't get left behind! ":
