Unfortunately, this is the reality today. Most Solaris customers are
running Solaris not because their want it, it's because they can't move
to a different platform.

Oracle's strategy isn't clear to me. They keep telling me how great they
are compared to IBM and why I should buy Oracle instead of IBM.

But, my management has decided that HP and Red Hat is the company
standard. In fact, out there the competitor is HP and Red Hat, not IBM.

To my question, why I should buy Oracle and not HP/Red Hat, I've never
got an answer from Oracle.

Sad but true: Solaris is going to be the next AIX and z/OS.
