Windows makes a mark in server ranking | |
|
||
| Time: 01:58 EST/06:58 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

A $4.6 million NEC server using Microsoft Windows has grabbed high marks in a closely watched performance ranking traditionally dominated by machines running the Unix operating system. The fifth-place ranking on the Transaction Performance Council's TPC-C speed test is an important step in Microsoft's years-long struggle to have its software used not only on PCs and low-end networked "server" computers, but also on high-end machines. Such servers often handle vital corporate computing tasks, such as tracking inventory or managing bank accounts. | ||

| Very cool (can't wait 'til they scale to 64 CPUs...), but the Unix servers are also coming down in price. The HP Superdome is at $15.64/tpmC--not far off from the $14.96/tpmC of the NEC machine. |

| and you can thank Microsoft for ever lower Unix costs. Isn't competition grand! |
