Enterprises are Migrating from Solaris & AIX to Linux Improved Price Performance
x86/SUSE Linux Enterprise Server compares favorably against the IBM System p570 servers running AIX
5L, v5.3 for the SPECint and SPECfp benchmarks (www.spec.org)
x86/SUSE Linux Enterprise Server platforms are a fraction of the cost of POWER/AIX platform.
AIX 7.1, Enterprise Edition for the POWER 770 is US$2,126 per core or US$136,064 (one time cost) for
a 64 core POWER 770 server
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription for an 80-core Intel-based HP DL980 scale-up server is US $
5,990
Less Risk Uncertainty surrounding Oracle's plans for Solaris and SPARC
Freedom from vendor lock in
POWER/AIX limits your ability to modernize your data center
Oracle Solaris Containers permit one application per virtual server in a container with Oracle Solaris as
the only guest operating system
More Innovation Non interoperable AIX and Solaris virtualization/cloud
Emerging ISV technology innovation around x86`

Why migrate from Solaris to SUSE Linux ? High Cost of Hardware and Software
Today, SPARC/Oracle Solaris platforms are aging, and support and maintenance contracts are expensive.
Oracle’s support is diminishing despite increasing support costs.
Sagging ISV enthusiasm for SPARC/Oracle ISVs are dropping support for applications on SPARC/Oracle Solaris.
SPARC/Oracle Solaris used to be the leading development platform, but because its market share is dropping at a fast pace, ISVs port from x86/Linux to SPARC/Oracle Solaris only when absolutely necessary.
Oracle only virtualization solution Solaris for SPARC is limited to virtualization technologies designed only for SPARC/Oracle
Solaris and can’t interoperate with common virtualization technologies such as Xen, KVM, etc.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC runs specifically on SPARC T-Series servers and enables consolidation of software stacks running only on SPARC T-Series servers.
18
Oracle cloud limitation Oracle Optimized Solution for Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure is strictly an Oracle-
customer-only cloud platform and is optimized for Oracle software applications.
RAS at an affordable price Enterprises are migrating from SPARC/Oracle Solaris to x86/Linux platforms running
new multi-core, scale-up x86 servers such as the HP DL980 Xeon 7500 series servers and x86 AMD and Intel servers from IBM such as the IBM System x3690
Innovation and interoperability - for flexible system evolution Many of the innovative ideas used to modernize data centers are built around Linux and
x86 servers, and few, if any, of them are associated with SPARC/Solaris.
SUSE partners with a wide range of partners to optimize its performance on their hardware and software products— including in important evolving technical areas such as virtualization, cloud computing, Big Data and high performance computing (HPC).
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides you with flexible choice in continually modernizing your data center to meet your business requirements

High Cost of hardware and software Today, POWER/AIX platforms are very expensive with costly software licensing for AIX. Very
expensive POWER servers and server maintenance
Sagging ISV support for POWER/AIX While IBM is a large ISV with its commercial products running on POWER/AIX, other ISVs are
dropping support for their applications on POWER/AIX unless sufficient demand warrants porting them to it
Lack of technology innovation IBM is generally the only company innovating around AIX and POWER, whereas many
companies, including IBM, are innovating around x86 and Linux. This limits your ability to take advantage of many of the innovations around virtualization, cloud computing and more, that are important for modernizing your data center and keeping it modern.
Lock-in for the platform With the limited availability of much innovative technology and limited ISV support and IBM-only
advancements for the platform, migrating to or staying with POWER/AIX limits your ability to modernize your data center and can even totally lock you in to IBM, leading to continuing high costs and inflexibility in evolving your data center environment.

RAS at an affordable price The price, performance and reliability of industry standard x86 servers have improved over the
years to the point where they can meet and exceed the capabilities of RISC/UNIX systems, including POWER/ AIX.
In other words, the reasons, such as RAS, to buy POWER/ AIX can no longer be used to differentiate POWER/AIX from x86/Linux. As a result, enterprises are migrating from POWER/AIX to x86/Linux platforms running new, more affordable multi-core, scale-up x86 servers such as the HP DL980 Xeon 7500 series servers and x86 AMD and Intel servers from IBM such as the IBM System x3690
Innovation and interoperability—for flexible system evolution Many of the innovative ideas used to modernize data centers are built around Linux and x86
servers, and few, if any, of them are associated with POWER/AIX.
SUSE partners with a wide range of partners to optimize its performance on their hardware and software products— including in important evolving technical areas such as virtualization, cloud computing, Big Data and high performance computing (HPC).
As a result, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides you with flexible choice in continually modernizing your data center to meet your business requirements
