Pingpong consulting conducted a study to benchmark performance of Solaris vs W2K3 for web server application. Based on the result of their findings they declared sun had 109% uptime.
The study used Netcraft' tried and trusted "Whats that Site running" tool. Detailing results of their study, they said, www.sun.com run on Solaris was last rebooted 109 days ago vs www.update.microsoft.com running on W2K3 that was rebooted 1 day ago.
Further the study showed that Solaris had a average uptime of 237 days and max of 279 days. www.update.microsoft.com had a average uptime of 34 days and max of 58 days. This should be of grave concern to Mircosoft customers as the server is run by Mircosoft themselves!!!
Based on results of their study, they declared Microsoft server as "Epic Fail"
