nelsonal's Journal: Linux servers

If you haven't seen them yet, you might want to check out the Linux server numbers that IDC released late last week. A few things I found notable: Linux servers went up in price (quartly unit growth was well below revenue growth) compare this to the other types of systems which all declined. Also Linux servers now account for almost 10% of server revenues, so far it looks like it hasn't really taken share from Windows servers rather sapped the growth that Windows systems would have taken from Unix. My queries are do you think the price increases came from the high end IBM machines that have Linux installed? Second, the next 10% (likely to come over the next two or three years) do you think it will come more from Unix systems or Windows systems? Anyone else have some observations from about the server market to enighten us?
