AIX 6 Traditional and Open Beta
First Open Beta for AIX
Some participant comments:
“It was particular exiting to have the opportunity to test new features like WPARs, WPAR
manager, Encrypted file system and concurrent update. After participating in the Beta program,
we are very confident about this new AIX release and will have no problem with deploying it on
our systems.” Bankdata
“At Symitar, our credit union clients rely on us for data processing systems that are functional,
flexible and reliable. We rely on IBM to provide these same characteristics in AIX. We see AIX
6.1 as an important step in the evolution of this powerful operating system. With growing
concern over risk mitigation -- and with no end in sight -- we're especially enthusiastic about the
upcoming security enhancements, such as Encrypted File Systems.” – John M. Beal, PD
Manager, SYMITAR, A Jack Henry & Associates Company
“AIXv6.1 Workload Partitions have proven to be very stable with excellent performance.
WPARs enable advanced features such as 'cross-node‘ application mobility which brings a great
deal of additional flexibility to AIX users. However, the most striking advantage is the potential
reduction in administration costs and complexity.” Groupe Bull
Strong ISV Support for AIX and POWER6
"We are pleased to see IBM's continued commitment to AIX with the release of Version 6.1. IBM
continues to push the UNIX envelope with AIX Version 6 and the new virtualization, security, and
availability features provide a robust and flexible platform for Oracle Database and Oracle
Applications.“
Stephen Boyle, Oracle Vice President, Global Platform Alliances
“Availability, including minimizing planned outages, is extremely important to our customers and
is a core component of the Information Management strategy", said Sal Vella , Vice President of
DB2 Development, "We expect that the combination of DB2 9, AIX 6.1, and Live Partition
Mobility on System p will be a powerful new capability that demonstrates the deep integration of
DB2, AIX and System p technologies. This new support will provide our customers with
enhanced availability for mission critical applications on DB2 data servers.“
Sal Vella Vice President, Development, DB2
"With the launch of the POWER6 processor-based servers, IBM continues their commitment to
provide powerful IT platforms to SAP customers. The new Live Partition Mobility supports our
mutual clients sustain business critical operations and meet service level agreements."
Rainer Hofmann Vice President of Global Partner Management IBM SAP AG
