Unlike Linux, which is free, Unix is a vendor developed and supported operating system, subject to copy write rules and regulations, however its main advantage is the readily available back up and support from these vendors. Included with this vendor supported operating system comes a large selection of virtualisation and clustering software.
This support can prove costly which of course may discourage some companies from purchasing Unix. Once your company has made the decision to implement Linux you may decide to invest in a vendor supported Unix operating system. Our administrators at Blue Shell have performed this transition many times so you can be confident that your system is expertly supported, backed by our Oracle Gold Partnership.
