Dedicated Server - UNIX Operating Systems

The UNIX Operating System is the enterprise level operating system utilized by the most fortune 1000 companies today in their hosting infrastructure. It is highly scalable and offers high performance. The cost of UNIX has also decreased in recent years making UNIX a viable option for small to mid market companies seeking enterprise level infrastructure. There are three main UNIX commercial operating systems in the hosting industry and the popularity continues to grow. UNIX has far been considered the standard by which all other operating systems are measured and the companies developing UNIX continue to release new versions that stay abreast of the changes in the marketplace. WebHosting UK has certified UNIX technicians on staff 24/7/365 to assist in any need. Our UNIX experience spans across all three commercial UNIX platforms:

•Sun Solaris Unix

Sun Solaris is the most popular version of UNIX in our dedicated server hosting environment and offers the widest range of hardware, software, and scalability options. Sun Solaris is available for Sun architecture and x86 based hardware. The Sun Solaris operating system is a commercial operating system sold by Sun Microsystems and must be licensed for use. Sun Solaris offers the most extensive option of third party software compatibility for all your application needs.

• HP-UX

HP-UX is the second most popular version of UNIX in our dedicated server hosting environment and offers an extensive array of hardware and scalability options through the HP enterprise server line. Third Party Software for HP-UX is not as commercially common as Sun Solaris, but a solid selection is available for most any application. The HP-UX operating system is sold by Hewlett Packard and must be licensed for use.

•IBM-AIX

IBM-AIX is the least most popular version of UNIX in our dedicated server hosting environment. IBM-AIX also offers an extensive array of hardware and scalability options through the IBM enterprise server line. IBM-AIX traditionally has been associated with corporate infrastructure and not hosted solutions so the market is still small, but continues to grow. Third party software is more limited than Sun Solaris, but again a solid selection is available for almost all needs. The IBM-AIX operating system is sold by IBM Corp and must be licensed for use.
