It would say so much money, no exchange, sql server, isa server But then the drawbacks would mean that you probably wouldn’t be able to use other microsoft apps that many businesses may use like sharepoint and maybe many others. What do you think?
Chosen Answer:
Latest numbers show about 40% of all business servers are Linux, 30% are Unix servers, and only 20% being Windows servers (mainly used alongside a Linux server to provide Microsoft apps). Linux servers are easier to maintain, have longer up times, and offer similar (often superior) services to Microsoft servers. Linux service contracts tend to be a bit more expensive then Microsoft service contracts but since the OS costs are lower, and you don’t have to pay for app licences, the TCO is lower on Linux servers.
