The 64 bit computing revolution for servers is in full swing and offers a number of benefits to businesses including improved server performance, which enables improved performance of server applications. 64 bit servers running 64 bit versions of applications can support more users and perform more tasks than their 32 bit equivalents.
The benefits are:
- Lower costs for server hardware
- Lower costs for server software licenses
- Lower hardware and software maintenance costs
- Lower power costs as power consumption is reduced
64 bit computing has been restricted by the non-availability of 64 bit versions of hardware drivers and 64 bit versions of some software for Windows Server. This problem is diminishing rapidly as manufacturers release more and more 64 bit versions of their products. Today many businesses run 64 bit Windows systems without issue and to the benefit of their operations.
