Survey: Apps Availability Drives Choice Between Linux, Windows | |

Rackspace is a leading Web hosting company which, with about half of its enterprise customers using Linux and the other half using Windows, surveyed its users to find out why they chose one operating system over the other. What Rackspace Managed Hosting Ltd. found was that enterprises, despite the time spent in talking about security issues and cost analysis, do not consider security and cost as major factors in their operating system decisions. The Web hosting company, based in San Antonio, Texas, supports large corporate Web sites on both SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Rackspace manages more than 13,000 servers, with an approximately fifty-fifty Linux and Windows split. On the Windows side, Rackspace supports both Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The company was also recently named by Microsoft Corp. as its 2005 hosting service provider of the year. The company also runs its internal systems on both Windows and Linux and claims to have deep technical expertise in both. | ||
