Report: Yankee Group Reports on Unix / Linux Uptime and the Reliability Woes that Plague Windows 2008-01-01 IBM

Use this report on the Yankee Group's Global Server Operating System Reliability Survey to make an informed choice on which servers best fit your needs. The independent, non-sponsored survey identifies the most reliable platforms. IBM AIX Unix led all server operating systems (compared with HP and Sun) with an average of just 36 minutes per server of annual downtime.

The Need for Asynchronous, Zero-Copy Network I/O 2006-07-25 Red Hat

The network interfaces provided by today's OSes severely limit the efficiency of network programs. The kernel copies the data coming in from network interface at least once internally before making the data available in the user-level buffer. This paper explains the problems and introduces some possible solutions. These necessarily cover more than just the network interfaces themselves, there is a bit more support needed.

How Multicore Processing and 64-Bit Operating Systems Enhance a Utility Computing Environment 2005-10-01 IDG (International Data Group)

In today's market efficiency, effectiveness and the integration of the IT service with the business process are all top of mind with technology leaders. As organizations wrestle with how to better align IT with their business and drive economies of scale into their IT environments, increasingly utility computing is an option to consider. As the concept of a pool of resources develops, technologies like multicore and 64-bit computing in the x86 space are helping to mature the utility environment, expand the pool of potential applications and dissolve even more barriers in today's compartmentalized IT environments.
