Hi, In our company we have a DL380 ( 16gb ram) server with Windows server 2003 x86, this run only tomcat 6. We have 2 options: a) upgrade to windows 2008 x64 and b) migrate to Linux ( I mean centos 6 x64). I want to make some benchmarks.
Please help me to compare a and b. How I can make this benchmark?
That's an extremely vague question. You need to explain what you are using your servers for, what performance issues you are worried about and so on.
In general though, performance is only one of many concerns you need to think about when deciding which OS to use. Do the program you need exist? How stable and tested are they? Is cost your main motivator? If so, have you factored in time needed to learn a new platform? How important is community and paid support?
