Linux, Windows NT, and Windows 2000/2003 TCO Research in Enterprise Computing
Overview Controlling costs rationally is one of the most effective ways to improve the value of IT in an organization. This paper intends to help customers make informed, rational decisions when purchasing or considering a new server Operating System (OS). When evaluating platform investment decisions, organizations should consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per workload, the ability to reduce complexity, and the ability to implement best practices. While TCO is part of the value equation, it is not the entire story. Choosing a server OS is often part of the broader strategic IT plan for enterprises - and as such, enterprises should consider cost, risks and business flexibility when choosing an OS.
