Divorcing Thin Server Software from the Hardware
by J. Staten
While finished thin servers should be optimized in both hardware and
software for the task at hand, who says the software and hardware must
come from the same developer? This Perspective examines the emerging
trend in the OEM market of divorcing the software layer from the
hardware layer. Many operating systems are vying to be the OS of
choice for thin servers. This document examines this issue in detail,
particularly the differences between Linux and FreeBSD, the current de
facto leaders in the market.
