| Samba 3's performance advantage grows |
Jan. 31, 2005
In an article at LinuxJournal.com, Tom Adelstein reviews the mounting evidence of Samba 3's steadily increasing performance leadership over Windows 2000 Server, and suggests that Samba's performance headroom is one of the key factors driving Linux success in the server market.
IT Week's lab report on Samba 3 indicates that Samba now performs 2.5 times faster than Windows Server 2003, and scales quite a few magnitudes over Windows 2000 Server, according to Adelstein. While Samba 2 was previously found to scale to four times the client capacity of Windows 2000, IT Week's Roger Howarth was unable to be precise about the widening performance gap attained by Samba 3, because it would have required an expansion of the IT Week lab to identify how many more times Samba 3 scales versus the legacy solution, Adelstein says.
