WCS on Windows Vs Linux

[K D]

Hello There,

Just wondering which one is better, Whether wcs on a Windows server or on Linux. If so, Is there an Linux appliance for WCS? What are the pros and cons between the two?

We are moving to the Linux version because everytime the Windows server team do some patching the WCS goes offline.

To the question "are they any appliances". The answer is "no. I think Surendra missed the core of the question :-)

WCS is only a software available for Windows or Red Hat. No hardware available at all.
