CheckFree performance case study

Window server nets 24% lower TCO over Linux servers

CheckFree is known for its high-quality electronic commerce infrastructures used by financial institutions. The company seeks to deliver innovation and quality while lowering TCO for customers.

In one of its core businesses, CheckFree uses IBM zSeries mainframe computers, but it sought to lower cost per transaction without sacrificing performance or availability.

It conducted a study of two solution stacks: one using the Red Hat Linux 9.0 operating system, IBM DB2 Universal Database, and IBM WebSphere; and the other using Microsoft Window Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
