Maybe you could offer a reason for running evergreen on windows. I can't seem to put my head around a reason for using a more expensive platform, and getting less performance due to the hack-ish nature of all the components working together. Its great to be able to run on lots of diverse platforms, but when it starts driving operating costs through the roof, I can't see a real reason.
If its a question of inter-operability, any linux distribution is mostly if not fully inter-operable with windows machines. Theres no reason you would not be able to have a linux server for the ILS and have an entire network of windows machines, in fact that is probably more common than not. You might want to talk to a company about a management contract if you are afraid of not being able to maintain the server with your current technical staff.
