Probably Unix
It probably replaced or used a spot that was supposed to be filled with Unix.

These guys wanted Oracle Apps. And in that field, I don't consider Windows a real contender. I heard they have problems with clustering. Also, Oracle seems to like supporting unix type systems.

I might be leaning out too far, but I would guess HP-UX or Solaris is what got beat out. As they are both there right now. There is also AIX, but I would expect IBM to offer Linux instead for such situations.
