I would say, as always in IT, it depends. We have used Windows for years with
hundreds of servers, hosting hundreds of JVMs - more than one on the same
machine typically, and hundreds of distinct war files. We also use Linux.
There are tools for both O/S platforms for troubleshooting/debugging. If any
consulting company were to tell me what they told you, I would want specific
cases explained to me - not just wide open generalizations. In my opinion,
more Tomcat is better. If it needs to run on Windows due to current company
knowledge/momentum, so be it. Would it be a good idea to set up some test
servers using Linux too in order to do a shootout with your apps - sure! Some
of this depends on how your app works and how it is used too. If you really
want to know, set up both types of servers and use any one of the numerous load
testing tools out there and see for yourself.
