The research showed significant reductions in enterprise data center costs, including: administrative costs, maintenance and support, and environmental/operational costs. On average, the ROI was 127% over five years for servers already upgraded, and a potential for an additional 335% ROI if the upgrade was completed for all servers.
The Solaris 10 OS provides a 20% cost-of-ownership advantage over Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, according to a new cost-of-ownership study conducted by the
Crimson Consulting Group. The study evaluated the costs of acquisition as well
as long-term support, administration and operations.
Presents how Solaris Containers can be utilized to consolidate several
RMDS servers into a fewer number of CMT or multi-core multiprocessor
systems.
