And then we could talk. Why this choice? Why RedHat? Well, that was not my election… i could test it in the future. Why 0? I would disagree with support. U can mainly contact windows support line, but the local support lines are not good enough. I get better help from Linux community. Thank You! That posting also suffers from bad research. I know, a Unix-like system throws the system core onto the hardware which you manually must debug afterwards. Please be realistic.
Yes, this article suffers from many errors and a pointless idea of rating system environment features with a number from zero to five. A more detailed map of comparison terms and reasons would be useful. I encourage OSNews to be more critical to article postings.
When lacking good stuff, quantity is not the answer. I disagree that Windows is actually any easier to use than FreeBSD or other Unices, but I believe it is just different — an experienced Windows user may be able to use GUI programmes like explorer quite efficiently to do their work, but someone with as much Unix experience can get things done much faster using the shell.
Where do you Linux lovers stop with the critisism of anyone who says Windows has good points? Sorry about the length of this comment, hope no-one wasted to much time reading the useless opinion of someone who doesnt have anything negative to say. Who knows? We should not compare free versions of Unix systems vs Windows as they are not in the same boat. Least secure operating system ever.
Easy enough to get yourself way over your head and in trouble. I have a local Debian mirror. I own three companeis, two of which are over 10 years old and one which received two business of the year awards and a top IT companies in Canada award this year. I have 31 employees, all but 6 of which are some sort of technician. My company was the first company in the world to roll out a major installation of Javastations for education. Unfortunately, Sun dropped the ball.
Then buried it. So, clueless newb? You pegged me there. I hate Microsoft. Oh please do, since every point you have made so far is so clear. You are. They seem to be in inverse proportion to each other, in your case. Bully for you. But a couple of computers with a wire between them do not a network make. Let me know when you deploy 30, machines with WAN links. It has links into Netbios and a broken, shite DNS implementation.
You probably think the SMB protocol was a Microsoft invention too. Easy Administration 3 5 — Windows It has a lot of Wizards that guide you trough the process of Installation, Configuration and Administration.
Windows loads some unnecesary services and FreeBSD only loads those things that you want to. Windows has a constant graphical interface and FreeBSD not. FreeBSD has a better and configurable memory management than Windows. We create a file of 10GB and we begin to copy it from one location to other. How could it be possible? Best performance OS in the same Hardware 5 4 This is relative because performance has many aspects. NET, Postfix vs Exchange and there are many others.
Of course this is a polemic thing so, i recommend that if you are interested to know what is better Apache vs IIS or other comparison i recommend you that remit you to the Official comparison available on Internet. Secure system 5 3 The security is Relative. Windows has more holes than other operating systems because most of the hackers attacks windows more that other OSes. But perfectly, undiscovered holes of security can still exist in UNIX.
Let us also keep in mind that Windows has the best Technical Support, and when being discovered a flaw they corrects it quickly. However we give 5 to FreeBSD and 3 to Windows because historically FreeBSD resists more attacks than Windows and of course there is a time that windows is vulnerable, i refer to the time between the hole is discovered and the Support corrects it.
We must declare too that Windows own many prizes of Security and there are official sites that declares that Windows is the most secure operating system in the world. I will put here my experience in my custom scenario. I have a Server that is acting as a gateway between Internet and my Lan and of course this requires extreme security because there are many Attacks on Internet.
But remember that in a real scenario maybe you will want to loss a bit of performance and give more features, so there are not a big difference between Windows and FreeBSD. Driver and Hardware Support 2 5 That is classical. Windows supports all kind of hardware because all hardware makers build drivers for it.
Amount of Services and commercial Applications 2 5 This is the hard reality, there are more companies that build hardware for Windows rather than build it for UNIXes. But why windows got 4 and not 2 or 0? Because this tools can be used in windows too.
For instance, Apache runs on Windows too. Of course software generally runs better on the native host operating system. Technical Support 2 5 Windows costs money… so it has the best technical support in the world. This table represents my own research and it is not extracted from an official post so it is not an official comparison between OSes, this is only an exposition of my experience.
If you would like to see your thoughts or experiences with technology published, please consider writing an article for OSNews. Newer Comments ». Just a stupid comparison. Guess which they chose. Is Solaris better? But it all depends on your budget. And OSNews, do you read this stuff before publishing?
Why in the world would you post this awful article? Besides the apples and oranges factor. Who screens these articles OSnews. A few points… 1 This article has no intelligent or correct content.
Part of the problem, not the solution on this one. Microsoft does not have a history of correcting flaws quickly. You are VERY welcome to write something better. We will publish it. Not necessarily wrong, just not newsworthy. Steve, You have written one too many articles while doing the sweaty monkey dance. Easy Deployment on a Network Clients This probably takes more knowhow than a windows wizard.
Windows — Wins on ease of use assuming what he says is true. Easy administration. Once more, simplicity vs. Easy Adaptation to Changes I will refrain from commenting since I do not understand Active Directory, and it is unclear to me what the author wishes to accomplish.
As for groupware functions Kroupware might be a good option. Consumption of Resources I agree with him there Window Server can eat every ressource you can throw at it. FreeBSD wins hands down because of the flexibility.. Heard of it? My brain is hurting. Must go read a useful article. Really, this article is so bad, it should be pulled. Please, for the children. And my sanity. My point is this… I do not run OSnews. To take a few examples: System Maintenance. Simply, lol. Just a small point that haha has also got on to.
Just use the right tool for the right job. Windows is crap. Bam you got a list off all 3d shooting games to install. All in all nice article but please do some more research next time. Since English is a second language for some posters, that should not be the point of debate.
I can do anything with it, that is real too… but the point is How many people in the World can handle it? There are more people that knows how to administer Windows than other Operatings Systems. We have Debian and Slackware to on the linux distros too, but i do not compare it with Windows.
If I could write worth a damn, maybe I could keep Eugenia to he promise. Alejandro, You seem to be under the mistaken impression that Windows is easy to administer.
Maybe he could write an article? I think that the problem here is the focus. There are people that hates textfiles. They must go hell? Think about it…. First you must know how to Administer a Network theorical.
Second, you must learn the specifications of each OS. Dont you think? SECOND I am not a newbie, i am not a certified expert too but nobody on this list exept Frend and other guy nicknamed Simba refers to a real example against my personal opinion. So dont say anything stupid ok? Your hands or a machine? So, dont say more crap man, say something with sense Dont afirm anything that i didnt say ok? This is actually starting to turn into an interesting thread.
Which would you prefer to have working for you? This conversation is currently closed to new comments. If your needs are being met by NetWare, then stay with it. If not, then move. The best reason of all to move to Windows is that a business app requires it.
Memory protection is so-so and incurs a lot of overhead. Server security is quite good from a remote perspective, but without services running on the server, there's not much to attack. Zenworks is about the best reason to keep Novell in the shop once Windows or another server OS is deployed for production use. I'm not sure that it alone justifies the overhead of maintaining a duplicate NOS infrastructure, though. We need Windows in our environment to support our current applications, but we do not have an application requirement for the NetWare OS.
The NetWare OS has an advantage in stability and security with a much lower licensing cost with an MLA and is virtually maintenance free compared to the myriad of Windows patches out each month. In regards to NetWare 6. Service Pack 2 for NW 6. It also gives an easy way to leverage the more powerful eDirectory with Linux.
I will leave the reasons for NOT migrating to the other posts. I'm an MS, Novell, Linux admin and a full migration to Windows will be the most horrible mistake your company can make. I am also the antivirus admin for my company. I spend around hours a week dealing with threats and vulnerabilities on my ms boxes.
We are moving away from MS. I guess the best thing you can count on is job security because the MS boxes will need all the time and help you can give them. Apparently you are not managing the boxes and keeping them up-to-date like you are supposed to. This is true for both the cloud and on-premises versions of the system. It allows you to:. The automated processes allow you to spend your time on other tasks without worrying about missing a problem area.
This is just one of the tools in the SolarWinds suite of Microsoft monitoring and management tools. Since these tools are on a shared platform, you can easily use one or more of them together. If any element is running poorly and is causing performance degradation, PerfStack enables you to identify the problem area, so you can address it early on. Microsoft knows not everyone has the same needs for their operating systems, which is why they have different options for Windows server versions.
Other companies may need more frequent updates and the latest enhancements. For companies wanting longstanding functionality, the Long-Term Servicing Channel is a good option. Those who prefer regular updates should look at the Semi-Annual Channel or go with a subscription-based cloud approach to keep their operating system up to date.
This will allow you to make the best use of your operating system. The company had several releases of the NT version of the operating system, as follows: Windows NT 3. Windows NT 3. Windows NT 4. Windows Server Windows Server provided the initial functionality for many features of the operating system still in use today.
The main features included: XML support Active Server Pages creation Active Directory use for user authentication The release also included specialized versions for different server environments, with Advanced Server and Datacenter Server editions as well as the standard Windows Server operating system. Windows Server The release of Windows Server brought a significant rewrite to the server software. Windows Server Microsoft took another three years to develop significant updates to Windows Server, which were released as Windows Server Back to top Windows Server R2 Windows Server R2 was released as an update to the prior release just a year later, in It was released in October and included several important new features to meet growing networking requirements: Windows Admin Center: Formerly called Project Honolulu, Windows Admin Center was designed to provide a central location for server management.
The utility includes many of the tools administrators use daily, among them configuration management, performance monitoring, and management of services running on different servers. Additionally, the utility supports servers even if they have different operating systems. These HCI features give network administrators the ability to manage virtualized services more simply, without even having to take down the system.
Additionally, resources supporting VMs can be adjusted automatically, streamlining management even further. Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection: Cybersecurity is a major concern for businesses, particularly considering advanced persistent threats. These attacks can get through many antivirus software solutions by using social media profiling, whaling, and spear phishing as ways to gain entry to the network.
This makes having an advanced threat protection ATP system essential for protecting systems and data. Microsoft ATP does more than monitor accounts for suspicious activity.
It tracks the activities of users, prevents unauthorized changes to log files, and automatically investigates attacks. It also provides options for remediation. The reduction in size extends to the use of container delivery to provide software to user-owned devices. While reducing overhead, container delivery maintains the necessary security for the software. The companies, worn down by decades of battling over the NOS market, this year actually began collaborating on network operating systems, building each others' technologies into their products.
