a UBP equivalent of DB2 + AIX would price it to market.

What do you mean by UBP equivalent of DB2+AIX?


I figure that db2 + AIX is the functional equivalent of i5/OS. same
function, same price.

I think what Nathan was asking was what you meant by "UBP", which I gather
you meant user-based pricing (or "per-seat" equivalent).

I do differ, though, that DB2 + AIX is anywhere near i5/OS. The work
management functions, security features, auditing capabilities, all of those
place i5/OS far beyond what AIX provides.

For dedicated server functions such as mail or web serving, AIX (or even
Windows) may be close to equivalent, but for application management it's not
even close. Not by a long shot.
