Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Operating system choice
The topic of "Oracle on NT vs. Oracle on UNIX" has been addressed many times before, but in my searches I have not found hard statistics to support either choice. I have been running Oracle on Tru64 UNIX for six years, and it has been rock solid. I have no experience with NT other than my desktop running OEM. As our budget time approaches along with hardware replacement looming, I have been approached by a manager who feels that we should move in the direction of replacing our UNIX servers with Intel servers. His justification for this move is cost. I've seen many references to poor stability of Oracle on NT, but all opinion, not facts. This manager feels it is just "Microsoft Haters" who are saying this because they hate NT and want UNIX. Personally, I think adding an Oracle NT Server into the mix would give me experience in that area, always a good thing, but I also worry about the stability and availability of my database that I would be presenting to my customers. If anyone has any insights, statistics, facts or links to documentation presenting such, I'd sure appreciate the help.
