This is not to say Linux treading and SMP capabilities are better, but rather to say that within this field Windows NT 4.0 Server fared less than great compared to its direct competition. The testing was conducted with Ziff-Davis Benchmark Operation’s newly released NetBench 4.01, with file and print services running on a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network.’ Windows NT Server running on a four way SMP system performed at a maximum of 44 Mbps, while Netware 4.1 placed last. An independent test conducted by PC Week Labs shows that OS/2 Warp Server running on a single processor outperforms both Microsoft Windows NT Server and Novell Netware 4.1 running on four-way SMP (symmetric-multiprocessing) equipped servers.Īccording to the tests, OS/2 Warp Server running on a single processor system had a peak performance of 56M bps (megabits per second), outperforming Windows NT Server by up to 26 percent in file and print services.

‘Warp Server’s performance is outstanding.

I still recall seeing benchmarks of Novell Netware, Windows NT 4.0 and IBM OS/2 Warp Server Advanced which stated that OS/2 did considerably better than both its opponents in file and print performance.
