Hi Freddy,

The best benefit I can always think when people ask this question is how OS 
itself. 
There is no value in running e.g. Linux, if you have little or no idea how it 
should
be managed. 

So: if your customer is really a Windows guy/gal, the benefit is in 
understanding the 
platform - definitely a plus when the time has come to do a DR.....

Good luck,
Alex

Onderwerp: [Networker] Linux vs Windows

Hi,

 

Was hoping somebody could shed some light. I have a client who wants to
move his Networker 7.5.1 server from a Linux platform to a Windows
platform and he is asking me to tell him what the benefits are.

He is currently running on Red Hat x86 (I assume RHEL 4) and wants to
move to Win 2008 R2 x64 and Networker 7.6. I have always run Networker
server on a Windows platform so I cannot really comment on the benefits
going from Linux to Windows.

 

Any comments would be appreciated
