In an effort to provide accurate Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) data to enterprise IT executives, RFG performed a quantitative analysis to highlight current operating system experiences in the enterprise. RFG contacted key buyers and IT decision makers across a range of industries, evaluated their level of satisfaction with each operating system, and performed a TCO analysis incorporating their cost data. The application server is a critical infrastructure component for many companies, and thus represents an ideal target for operating system selection. Because the specific workload profile will have a dramatic impact on the variance in TCO, RFG recommends doing any work analysis this way.
