A common argument against using .NET for high volume, transactional enterprise systems is that IIS does not compare to the likes of Weblogic and websphere for java. Is this true? Unfortunately for .NET web apps IIS is the only option as an application server. Does anyone have any arguments against this? I would like to promote .NET more in the enterprise and need some help putting my case forward.
Thanks
I’ve been coding ASP.NET for 6 years now and prior to getting into the field I was a network engineer. IMO, ASP.NET on IIS is faster out of the box than most of those other platforms. However, it’s easy to screw up performance with mediocre programming skills, and it is possible that a highly tuned platform could beat a standard IIS configuration.
Honestly, I don’t put much stock in the whole debate about which platform has the higher potential performance, because I’ve never had to address the issue, and I’ve developed sites which received upwards of 2-3 million hits an hour without hiccups.
