I haven't seen this referenced here and I came across this while
scanning the weekly SANS bulletin. I was a reference to an article from
The Register: "IBM Power: good. Windows: not so much"

"Among the customers surveyed by ITIC, IBM's Power Systems running AIX
experienced (this includes older System p and pSeries iron) the least
amount of downtime per year, when averaged across all customers using
these platforms. AIX shops reported an average of 0.42 Tier 1 incidents
per year and 0.34 Tier 2 incidents, and not one customer reported a Tier
3 outage on their AIX boxes. The Power Systems machines (and this
includes older System i and iSeries iron) had an average of 0.56 Tier 1
outages per year, 0.44 Tier 2 outages per year, and 0.12 Tier 3 outages.
So in 2009 at least, the i platform fared a little worse than the AIX
platform running on Power iron."
Pretty much a "duh" for us i folks but *just* in case some of you are
fighting the "switch to Windows" battle, it might be some additional
ammo for staying on the i.
