 AIX is one of the favours of Unix and is developed by IBM.

 AIX stands for Advanced Interactive Executive.

 This name came because of an advanced feature(tool)  introduced in AIX called SMIT (System Management Interface Tool). It is a menu driven interface which allows to perforform most of the common system management functions with in one consistent environment.

Most of the administrative tasks can be performed through SMIT. The major difference lies in customization and security.
