Windows servers are reliable and easy to manage
Microsoft requested that VeriTest, a division of Lionbridge Technologies Inc., measure the amount of time a group of information technology (IT) professionals spent executing various tasks associated with improving the reliability and robustness of back-end infrastructure and end-user services in Windows servers and Linux production environments within a simulated medium-sized business.
VeriTest closely monitored the processes followed and the tools used by the IT professionals to assess the impact on the IT service loss (or business disruption) of end-user services in the simulated business.
VeriTest's key findings are as follows:
The Windows server 2003 environment had 4:20:19 of average end-user service loss time compared to 4:59:44 of average service loss time for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 environment on measured service loss events. Lower results are better.
More work was completed in the Windows Server 2003 environment (280 completed tasks and events) than in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 environment (248 completed tasks and events) in less average elapsed time (18:44:14 vs. 27:48:05).
