The facts that really matter
AIX on Power Systems – 90%
HP UX 11i V3 – 75%
How IT managers voted on security
AIX wins hands down on security
Security has become an increasingly critical issue today and organisations have realised that security risks are major speed breakers in their path to growth. IT managers are looking to minimise security risks by using a trusted operating system and focusing all their energies on the organisation’s growth.
According to the ITIC 2011 Global Server Hardware and Server OS Reliability Survey, 90% of all IT managers who were interviewed rated AIX has highly secure. That’s 15 percentage points more that its closest UNIX-based competitor, HP UX. The IT managers who voted in favour cited AIX’s consistency, the inherent ‘bullet- proof’ nature of its source code and IBM’s quick turnaround time in fixing security issues as the primary reasons to choose AIX.
So, if you’re thinking UNIX for your organisation, think only AIX.
According to the ITIC 2009 Global Server Hardware and Server OS Reliability Survey,
9 out of 10 IT managers voted IBM’s AIX on Power Systems™ as the most secure OS.

SECURITY comparison based on ITIC's 2010-11 Global Server Hardware and Server OS Reliability Survey, an independant global survey of 470 corporates - IT Managers and C-level executives - from Novemeber 2010 through February 2011. The study states that 90% of respondents polled rated the security of IBM's AIX v.7 as 'Excellent' or 'Very Good', while only 75% of the respondents rated the closest UNIX-based competitor to AIX v.7 - HP UX 11i v.3 - as 'Excellent' or 'Very Good'.
