Which enterprise companies use Unix and Unix-like operating systems?


I was wondering who uses Unix or Unix-like operating system at enterprise level.

The Fortune 500 Company I work for completely decommissioned HP-UX and AIX many years ago.

Are there big companies that uses *BSD, Solaris or derivatives today? If yes, why? Is it only legacy or there are specific reasons?

imho (!)

idk ... but i have to admit, i'm a bit baffled right now:

afaik: linux is a unix-like operating system ...

first sentence / first line:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like

so the answer is: all of them ...

and the medium sized businesses, and the SOHO businesses and every private person which uses the internet!?
