Highlights

Latest generation of IBM’s well-proven, scalable, open standards-based UNIX® operating system
Features for virtualisation, security, availability and manageability designed to make AIX® 6 even more flexible, secure and available than previous versions
Built on IBM POWER® technology and virtualization to help deliver superior performance, increase system utilisation and efficiency, provide for easy administration and reduce total costs

AIX, the future of the UNIX operating system

Businesses today need to maximise the return on investment in information technology. Their IT infrastructure should have the flexibility to quickly adjust to changing business computing requirements and scale to handle ever expanding workloads—without adding complexity. But just providing flexibility and performance isn’t enough; the IT infrastructure also needs to provide rock-solid security and near-continuous availability and while managing energy and cooling costs.

These are just some of the reasons why more and more businesses are choosing the AIX operating system (OS) running on IBM systems designed with Power Architecture® technology. With its proven scalability, advanced virtualization, security, manageability and reliability features, the AIX OS is an excellent choice for building an IT infrastructure.

AIX is available in three different editions:

AIX Standard Edition: Suitable for most UNIX workloads, with vertical scalability up to 256 cores using AIX 7 (or 64 cores using AIX 6).

AIX Enterprise Edition: Simply, this consists of AIX plus enterprise management features. This edition includes AIX Standard Edition plus Systems Director Enterprise Edition and the Workload Partitions Manager for AIX. Vertical scalability up to 256 cores using AIX 7 (64 cores using AIX 6).

AIX Express Edition: This lower priced edition is targeted toward customers with low-end servers or who are looking to consolidate smaller workloads on larger servers. This edition includes most of the functionality of AIX Standard Edition, but vertical scalability is limited to 4 cores and 8GB of memory per core in a single partition. Customers can use multiple AIX Express Edition partitions in a single larger server.
