Thanks for the pointer Jeff ! that's so cool !

Long live HP-UX !

[Patrick Wallek]

WOW! Way to go HP!!!

Maybe that will translate into more sales of HP-UX for HP, which will translate into more HP-UX machines out there, which will translate into a need for more HP-UX sys admins. That would really be handy for me about now.

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Jeff:

Yes, thanks. I just passed that along to my CIO. It's budget-time around here, and it never hurts to tell the bosses what a great thing they have!

Regards!

Thanks for the info, we keep joking with our account rep we are going to switch to Sun, but now we don't have ground to stand on...

Hi,

Cool! I downloaded the Executive Summary from the DH Brown's website which reads:

"HP-UX occupies the top spot in every studied category, with a particularly strong lead in Internet and Web Application Services, and an impressive surge forward in the intensely competitive RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) category."

Now instead of the 5-page executive summary, where do I get the 83-page (or more) complete writeup that is shown by the content page from the summary? :P

Regards.

Hi Jeff,

Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. Since I'm an HPUX bigot, I like seeing reports like this.

Actually, any UNIX flavor is better than ___________!

Hi Steven,

It's the 2nd link on the pg - the "Review Report".

Rgds,

[Jeff Schussele]

C'mon Darrell...you can say it!
You've been thru the the 12-step program haven't you?
Wait a minute...that's how many steps it takes to secure a single Internet service in IIS =~0
And that doesn't count patch downloads.....

Jeff

[Mark Greene_1]

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure how helpful it will be for me, as our primary applications vendor has only certified their products through 11.0, and I'm wondering if they will skip 11i in favor of 11.11

mark

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Mark,

Well....11i & 11.11 are essentially the same OS. Although there are now several "flavors".
These include, Basic, Enterprise, Mission Critical & Technical among them. Just depends on what's been bundled in or "tweaked" in them.

If they skip it they may be waiting a while as the 11i v1.5 is for Itanium CPUs i.e. Superdomes (RX4610/RX9610) & i2000 workstations so far.

Rgds,
Jeff

[Darrell Allen]

Well, if I say it too loudly, someone may hear me and think I'm recommending we migrate our ERP systems to it!

That'll be the day!

And is it actually possible to secure anything in IIS? Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

Darrell

[Jeff Schussele]

Darrell,

Well it's not so much an oxymoron...
It's just that these security "fixes" for IIS have a life-span approx equal to that of the common housefly. And the # of these "fixes" tend to multiply at about the same rate!

What me biased?,
Jeff

[Steven Sim Kok Leong]

Thanks Jeff,

I did not notice HP website has displayed a downloadable copy of summary and report. I had actually accessed the executive summary from the DH Brown site instead which did not appear at first glance to allow download of the full report.

Gosh, it is already 4:20 am local time here. :P

Hi Jeff,

Very interesting article. I will certainly be passing this up the food chain. Any rumblings that were heard about AIX in our corridors should now be helped back into closet for the time being. We have purchased a great deal of HP gear in the last 18 months and I guess it shows that we have made the right decision.

Cheers

[Martin Johnson]

Now that HP has merged with Compaq, the adding of Compaq Tru-clustering to HPUX should push it even more in the lead.

Marty

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Marty,

Couldn't agree more.
I, for one, am looking forward to the "new" clustering features to appear.
I'm sure I've lots of company....

Cheers,
Jeff

Excellent!
