I have a dilemma that I would like to open up for possible discussion.
Right now, I am running Apache 1.3.12 with Jserv 1.1 and 1.1.2, both
Sun's and Blackdown's JDK 1.2.2. We run a servlet based web app which
accesses an Oracle database through JDBC.
The question has arose: why aren't we using iPlanet? Now, my main
argument is, of course, we would pay $1500 per server while right now we
pay $0 per server (for the software). However, as our company grows, the
money will start to flow. iPlanet's site (http://www.iplanet.com) has a
whole bunch of reasons to switch to them. I can handle most of the
points but one point they make is hard to counter. They site benchmarks
from http://www.mindcraft.com which show that iPlanet beats
Jserv/Stronghold by factors of 4.
I cannot say I udnerstand the methodology of the benchmarks (such as
"latency" as they term it). Can someone clue me in? Is there anyone who
see holes in their methodology? Any help would be appreciated.
