Mixing OS servers in a single system
Answered
Is there any issue with running both windows and Linux servers in the same system? I am going to use a small linux box as a backup server to keep live viewing available in the event of a server crash. Our windows server has gone offline (service stopped and never restarted) a few times in the last week. Using Wisenet Wave on Windows 11. We updated to 5.0.0.36634 from 5.0.0.35745 and did all current windows updates last night. Hoping that fixes our issue, but we have to keep the live viewing up for compliance. This is a marijuana grow site in the US.

Hi Calvin Wientjes,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to inform you that there are no restrictions on mixing different operating systems within a system. For example, you can combine Windows and Ubuntu servers and access them using Windows, Ubuntu, and macOS clients, as well as iOS and Android mobile clients.
However, from a management standpoint, it is generally recommended to stick to one operating system, or perhaps two, with one for the servers and another for the clients. This approach could help streamline system management.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Best regards.

Hi Julien ROMANO,
I trust that all SysAdmins possess the necessary knowledge and awareness regarding the purpose and configuration of each device within the network. Utilizing powerful tools such as Ansible or similar applications, it is possible to create playbooks tailored to the specific requirements of individual devices or groups of devices. This approach enables you to execute a single command or a series of commands effortlessly across the selected devices.
Best regards.
