I don't develop telecoms software myself, but many of my biggest customers are telecoms. This is the basis of my comments on Linux vs Windows scalability for telecoms applications.
Personally, I have only seen one case of Windows in a telecoms platform. I haven't seen that much, though. Victor, perhaps your scalability issue would be more easily addressed using some other technology, and not by a change in OS. Like I said, the modern OS kernel is pretty much optimized already, and Microsoft is not composed of idiots. Say what we will about Windows reliability and security, it is a good performer. It's hard to speculate on how your app's performance may improve, with no information about your app at all: - is it CPU-bound? if so, are the processes long-running? - is it I/O-bound? what sort of I/O? lots of network sockets? heavy disk activity? - is it database-bound? if so an in-memory solution might help things Better yet if you could tell us what the app does. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
