At Orbitz, Linux Delivers Double The Performance At One-Tenth The Cost (TechWeb)
TechWeb
covers Linux performance at Orbitz, an online travel service.
"Privately held Chicago-based Orbitz uses more than 750
Linux-on-Intel Compaq computers in its data center to download fares,
service search requests and run the company's booking engine. In the fall,
Orbitz migrated its web applications running on Sun Microsystems'
Enterprise 4500 servers to Compaq machines. The migration meant moving the
software from Solaris running on 168 Sparc processors to Linux running on
100 Intel chips."
