It is thought that what other operating systems are promising in the future Unix (Linux) gives many users now at a bargain price. Since it can be downloaded for free or obtained very inexpensively from a number of commercial vendors it is an attractive product for companies that try to reduce the coast of licensing and managing operating systems. .
The bottom line is which is cheaper? Hardware costs, software licenses, technical support agreements, prices of upgrading service packs, costs of hardware upgrades, profits lost for every hour of downtime, personnel costs for recovering data lost due to product defects in the operating system and hardware platform required by your choice of operating systems, and personnel coast for systems administrators are only some of the factors that play a part in the decision of which operating system to use. Yes in my opinion as well as opinions of most companies and managers, given the complex set of factors. A technically superior combination of server hardware and operating systems could be less expensive than otherwise thought to be. .
Unix is a mature, and probably technically superior group of operating systems with what is considered to have one of the most proven track record for performance, reliability, and security in a server environment. It is thought Windows NT server is no match for any Unix operating system. Windows NT is often chosen for budget reasons, Windows NT systems carry a lower sticker price than their Unix counterparts, but ongoing maintenance and support requirements can make them much more costly to run." .
NT can communicate with many different types of computers, So can Unix. NT can secure sensitive data and keep unauthorized users off the network. So can Unix. Essentially, both operating systems meet the minimum requirements for operating systems functioning in a networked environment. Simply put, Unix can do anything that NT can do and more.
