Abstract: Hybrid datacenters that integrate Solaris, AIX, and Linux platforms have become essential for enterprises seeking to balance legacy system stability with modern digital transformation initiatives. Each operating system offers unique strengths: Solaris provides scalable virtualization and advanced file system capabilities, AIX delivers enterprise-grade reliability and partitioning for mission-critical workloads, and Linux offers flexibility, open-source adaptability, and cloud-native support. Managing these diverse environments requires strategic planning, robust automation, and cross-platform orchestration to ensure performance, security, and operational efficiency.This review article provides a comprehensive analysis of hybrid datacenter architecture, virtualization, storage, networking, monitoring, security, and automation strategies. It examines best practices for workload optimization, multi-OS integration, and resource management across heterogeneous environments. Case studies from the financial and healthcare sectors illustrate practical implementations, highlighting challenges, lessons learned, and strategies for achieving high availability, compliance, and cost efficiency. Emerging trends such as AI-driven resource optimization, cloud integration, containerization, and predictive analytics are explored to provide insights into the future of multi-OS datacenter management. By synthesizing technical and operational considerations, this review equips IT professionals with knowledge to design resilient, scalable, and secure hybrid datacenters. The article emphasizes strategic workload placement, standardized procedures, centralized monitoring, and automation as key enablers of sustainable operations, ensuring that enterprises can maintain operational continuity while adapting to evolving technological and business demands
