Bascule : "Though I agree there are far to few benchmarks to really get a clear picture on the 2003/*nix debate. I disagree 2003 smoked, it was close, all who read will see that is so. "
Check these head to heads between Windows 2003 and Red Hatd Linux 8.0 from Veristest the top, world class INDEPENDENT tester at
http://www.veritest.com/clients/reports/microsoft/ms_competitive_webbench_performance.pdf.
End result :
HP ProLiant DL760
server configured with four 900MHz Pentium III Xeon processors, 4GB of RAM and four Intel
PRO/1000 MF Server Adapters.
Key findings:
Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Services (IIS)
6.0 delivered higher Web server throughput compared to
Apache 1.3.23 running on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server
2.1 and Red Hat Linux 8.0 on the configurations we tested.
1. Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 delivered 300 percent
better peak performance in the static Web Server
performance testing using eight processors on the DL760
compared to Apache 1.3.23 running under Red Hat Linux
Advanced Server 2.1
2. Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 delivered 51% better peak
performance in the static Web Server Performance testing
using four processors on the DL760 server compared to TUX
running under Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.
3. Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 delivered 101% better
peak performance in the dynamic E-commerce Web Server
performance testing on the DL380 compared to Apache
1.3.23 and TUX running under Red Hat Linux Advanced
Server 2.1 and 58% better peak performance compared to
Apache 2.0.40 running under Red Hat Linux Advanced
Server 8.0.
WOW!
We are talking about a Windows 2003 better performance of between 51% to 300%!!!!!!!!
If that is not Windows smoking Linux yet again, I don't know what is. :)
Windows 2003 simply ROCKS!
