Windows Server is more than just an operating system – rather, it is an inherently rich set of technologies, features and services that are engineered to work as a comprehensive, integrated and easy-to-use ‘platform’. One of Windows Server’s greatest attributes is its ability to reach out into the enterprise and integrate with legacy technologies. By doing so, we can effectively have a two way data exchange with legacy systems and bridge the “information gap” many systems in organizations experience.
As you’ll see from the picture below, Windows Server is made to integrate in and add value to the enterprise.
The Linux kernel is best suited for the functions of an “edge server”. Edge servers provide single purpose solutions. An example of this would be; DNS servers, Routers, phone switches, building automation systems. Edge servers have no need to integrate with anything else in the enterprise and are built to serve a single function. In addition there is no defined roadmap for enterprise integration with Linux.
