Hi,

We are running TSM on both a NSM (H70) and on Win2000 (IBM X Serie). At the
moment the AIX server has more clients but the both boxes are storing nearly
the same amount of data. Due to lack of performance from the NSM we are
moving the big clients (# stored files) to the wintel box. Its just a matter
of time before we are replacing the NSM with a wintel box. Our cause was not
based on the cost only, but it helped.

Onderwerp: Server AIX vs NT


Hello,

We are looking to replace our TSM server hardware, we are currently running
the TSM server on an IBM H50.  The bean counters are saying that an NT
server would be a lot cheaper than a UNIX server.  They have decided it
needs to be either an IBM UNIX server or an NT server.  Has anyone had any
experience with both NT and AIX servers, and if so what information do you
have regarding performance, stability etc. with one over the other.
Basically I've be told to either cost justify AIX or I'll end up on NT.

Any help would be appreciated.
