Linux Foundation recently published a survey of 1,948 users found that, Windows replace Unix as the preferred operating system,the course is now being used by Linux again.
Linux in the data center as fast as the performance and Windows – both of which are the fastest growing data center operating system, because the price is usually high because of Unix. Conducted by the Linux Foundation’s latest survey found that, at least in the middle of a large Linux users, Linux same price as expensive Windows appeared to grow rapidly.
But Linux is difficult to depict the position in the data center the exact picture.Because no company owns it, and various Linux versions are available for free download, can not track the number of download or installation. Linux Foundation can only resort to some well-known Linux users, industrial users such as its subordinate members of the Committee, and chosen by the Yoeman Technology Group, out of more than 1,900 companies and government Linux users.
In the past decade, Linux’s growth is mostly due to a lot of users from sun’s Solaris,IBM,AIX,HP-UX and other Unix system migration with the rules. The latest survey found that the “migration from Windows to Linux is beyond the number of migration comes from a number of Unix,” the report said the number of migrating from Windows accounted for 37%, while the migration from a variety of Unix versions of the number of accounts 31%.
Reported that 76% of respondents in the next 12 months to add more Linux servers, with this comparison, only 41% of enterprises plan to increase the Windows server. In the next five years, will accelerate this trend: 79.4% of the enterprises plan to add more Linux servers; only 21% of companies plan to add a Windows server. 44% of companies said they plan to maintain the existing number of Windows servers, or in the next 12 months to gradually reduce the number.
In addition, 66% of respondents said they currently deploy Linux to deploy new servers mainly, but not replace the existing system, which indicates that deployment of new applications, Linux leader.”This is not to seize market share in the development of Linux platform for future development is the best proof,” Yeoman Technology Group’s report said.
In the survey, Linux is changing workloads, 60% of the respondents said that from the past, they are to Linux “for more mission-critical workloads.”
Although the cost is still an important factor in the adoption of Linux, but the survey respondents generally agreed that safety and technical advantages of Linux has become the primary consideration of their choice. A primary consideration in completing the time, 68% of respondents believe that a technical advantage, 65% of companies considered to be TCO, 64% is considered safe.In asking whether the economic downturn is to promote the organization’s reasons for the adoption of Linux, 40% of companies considered, 59% of the enterprises that are not.
“Training employees to use Linux has proved cheaper than buying the software’s multi-patent licensing,” a cost-sensitive of the respondents that commented. But some people say, “Our strategy has been to prefer Linux. Economic recession will not change this strategy.”
Linux kernel will continue to Linus Torvalds and Andrew Morton, under the leadership of the Linux open source projects continue to develop, and most significantly for the future development of user confidence in the progress: 86.5% of respondents believe that Linux will continue to be performance improved.
Only 26% of respondents expected to be involved in the next 12 months, cloud computing, but in these respondents, 70% said they would be the preferred Linux cloud operating system.
36% said they are using desktop Linux, which is somewhat surprising, because many companies are only allowed to deploy Linux in a small area, and less willing to large-scale deployment. Linux is usually the developer’s desktop. Report, “few companies to deploy more than 400 Linux desktops, but said they are implementing an enterprise deployment of 8,000 desktops goal.”
Only 13% of respondents to the Linux source code has a positive contribution, but 38% said they have been tested for the source code available, and submitted a bug report.
