32. Conclusions Dramatic findings illustrate large potential cost savings Migrate IBM WebSphere 7 to Windows Server 2008 from IBM Power6/RISC platforms Save up to 2/3 of overall cost and get better performance! (on systems as tested) Utilize Microsoft.NET for best performance and lowest cost of middle tier platform Save up to 4/5 th of overall cost and get the best performance overall (on systems as tested) Complete benchmark report, sources http://msdn.microsoft.com/stocktrader
