+ <h3><a name="SLES9_vs_Win2k3">Flexbeta Compares SLES9/Samba and Win2k3</a></h3>
+
+ <div class="article">
+ <p><a href="http://www.flexbeta.net/main/index.php">Flexbeta</a> has
+ posted a comparision of SLES9 and Windows 2003 server. The
+ article includes an "out-of-the-box" comparison of Windows and SLES file
+ sharing speeds (using netbench). The results look good for Samba:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>With this hardware Windows 2003 Server seems to max out
+ on performance at approximately 30 Clients with a throughput of
+ about 135Mbps, where SLES seems to max out on performance at
+ approximately 60 Clients with a throughput of about 255Mbps. The response
+ time is also about twice as fast on SLES9 than on Win2k3 on the
+ same hardware. So, in theory, you can handle twice as many clients on
+ the same hardware using SLES9 compared to using Windows 2003
+ Server.</blockquote>
+
+ <p>Also:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>Novell's SLES9 pretty much more than doubles the performance
+ of Microsoft's Windows 2003 Server on the exact same hardware in both
+ categories. This is very, very impressive, and shows the strengths of
+ both Samba and the Linux kernel [...]</blockquote>
