Lisa,

If you want an exact echo of Kevin's statement, count me in. We had a similar situation in a far-away, tiny country called Brunei. AIX is the best UNIX OS I have seen - at least for the SA. And the S80 is a lean, mean monster.

Lisa;
On the comment on AIX.... I came from a place that had large AIX servers running oracle 7.3.4 and 8.1.6. I am here to tell you they were the best machines that I have seen in a long time. The sys-admin tools were very easy to use (I was both sys-admin and dba), the hardware was extremely reliable (we actually ran {shiver} with no mirroring or raiding on database drives with no errors for over 4 years), and most (I have to qualify it to most) of the service technicians knew what they were doing.

There were a couple times when they sent us someone whom were under par .... but one call to their area vp in charge of support at 4 am in the morning and those folks were replaced the next day. (Of course, it helped being one of their big clients in the area).

Anyway ... I prety much have to swear by AIX these days ..... it was a very good system.

Kevin
