Windows NT 40 Verses Lynix

s better than Windows NT Reality: Windows NT 4.0 Outperforms Linux On Common Customer WorkloadsThe Linux community claims to have improved performance and scalability in the latest versions of the Linux Kernel (2.2), however it's clear that Linux remains inferior to the Windows NT 4.0 operating system. For file and print services, according to independent tests conducted by PC Week Labs, the Windows NT 4.0 operating system delivers 52 percent better performance on a single processor system, and 110 percent better performance on a 4﷓way system than similarly configured single processor and 4﷓way Linux/SAMBA systems. For Web servers, the same PC Week tests showed Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Information Server 4.0 delivers 41 percent better performance on a single processor system and 125 percent better performance on a 4﷓way system than Linux and Apache. For e﷓commerce workloads using secure sockets (SSL), recent PC Magazine Windows 4tests showed Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Information Server 4.0 delivers approximately five times the performance provided by Linux and Stronghold. For transaction﷓orientated Line of Business applications, Windows NT 4.0 has achieved a result of 40,368 tpmC at a cost of $18.46 per transaction on a Compaq 8﷓Way Pentium III XEON processor﷓based system. This industry leading price/performance result from the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) clearly shows how Windows NT can deliver world﷓class performance for heavy duty transaction processing. It's interesting to note that there is not a single TPC result on any database running on Linux, and therefore Linux has yet to demonstrate their capabilities as a database server. Linux performance and scalability is architecturally limited in the 2.2 Kernel. Linux only supports 2 gigabytes (GB) of RAM on the x86 architecture, 1 compared to 4 GB for Windows NT 4.0. The largest file size Linux sup...
