Unix Wanes While Linux Waxes
In a recent report by ComputerWorld, Unix is losing major ground in the SAP data center space. HP-UX is losing at a rate of about 41% and AIX (IBM) is losing at a rate of 18%. And in the time period (roughly 2.5 years) between October 2005 through March 2008, Unix to Linux conversions almost doubled over the previous evaluation period (2001 - September 2005). |

An enterprise that moves from a supported OS to another OS will want support for the new OS, even if the move is to save money in the long run.
Red Hat and Novell have proven support records, and the move may be for better performance and vendor support.
