When I upgrade, which OS: Windows or Linux

3,179

I know this is a question loaded with potential evangelism, but...

Next calendar year we will be upgrading our SQLAnywhere database (appx 60Gb, 50-75 concurrent users) from v10 to v12. Does anyone have any real-world experience showing is there is a performance advantage between 64-bit Linux & Windows?

We had a 60GB ASA 11 database running (replicated via dbremote) on both a windows and linux 64 system. In terms of performance we did not see a difference between the two systems. (Same Hardware!)

So I think it is safe to choose what platform meets the other criterias of your IT infrastructure.

Just the kinds of response I was hoping for, rooted in real-world experience. Thanks!

What Hardware do you have for a 60GB DB? How many users? We have sometime troubles with performance and i want to know what others do. Thanks.

Ours is running is a dual-Xeon VMWare 5.1 host. We allocated a good deal of RAM (12GB). The storage is to a Dell SAN over iSCSI, though I'm thinking of moving it to direct attached storage for performance, if I can settle the disaster recovery issue through mirroring. We support appx 50 simultaneous connections. However, a handful of those uses are using fairly data intensive queries.
