you posted this in the SAP on Windows forum... so I would expect you to install on Windows 2003 server.

Hi,

The best combination is the one that suits the best this specific middle size company.

It is impossible to answer this question without knowing the internals of this specific company...

Hi,

You can see supported OS and DB for your hardware platform by visiting the following link...

As per my personal experience,

AIX or HPUX with Oracle Database is more stable environment..

If you have experience and knowledge about HP-UX and/or AIX and especially Oracle. A Windows shop using mainly MS SQL Server won't become happy with that combination if they have to learn everything from scratch.

Fyi,

since march 2011, Oracle is not planning to support Oracle Version 12g on HPUX (note 1575609).

For IBM server, imho Win2k8-Ora or AIX-DB2

Hi,

If your OS windows, MSSQL would be a good choice. Administration and Maintenance cost would be less.

If you OS is AIX, DB2 would be a good choice. In this case you can have database and OS support from IBM itself.

If you database is Oracle, there are certain restrictions on OS supported for it.

Hope above information is useful.
