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? -- Best Regards, Ashkan R

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? -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

Add another HDD(s) or use existing free space to Install CentOS. 2. Copy data from NTFS (you can use ntfs-3g package) to ext4/LVM partition on new HDD 3. Install tomcat on CentOS and configure it to match tomcat on Windows server. 4. Run tests on one OS then reboot and run same tests on another. In this setup you can even run realtime tests on Linux in off-hours. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

You can schedule shutdown of Windows server and reboot to CentOS with same IP address, and signal users to simulate regular usage of application with prepared data. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
