I had the great pleasure of adminstrating and deploying AIX for 6 years. It really is an extremely solid OS. During that time I also worked with HP-UX, which compared to AIX felt stuck in some oldschool UNIX limbo especially concerning storage handling felt extremely clunky. As mentioned in the article AIX's LVM implementation is a joy to use giving the administrator the ability to extend and SHRINK a live filesystem and LVM mirroring with AIX was rock solid. The AIX LPAR technology was very impressive and fun to work with. Perhaps the years have given my memories a rosy taint but working solely Linux now (OpenShift), I sort of miss those days with AIX.
