IDC: Linux shines a great future, especially it shines Novell
Analysts from the well-known office IDC for the second time decided to calculate the share of Linux in the OS market. Since we are talking about the overall size of the market, the report contains information about both paid and free installations of various distributions. IDC believes that Linux will continue to grow from year to year and in 2013 and will grow by 16.8%, reaching a level of 1.2 billion dollars. This growth, accordingly, will be in 2013 4% of the global software market (against the current 2.2%). Now from numbers to business.
IDC calculated the share of vendors in the market. Novell has 27.9% of the total number of all paid Linux installations, and 20.1% of the total market of Linux-distributions. At Red Hat, the share of the total Linux distribution market is 47.6%, and free installations account for 28.6%. But, as journalists begin to speculate , Novell may well become leaders. For Red Hat, from 2007-2008, the growth in the number of paid installations was 1.9%, while in Novell it was about 3.5%. In terms of revenue, Novell has a 29.8% share, which equals about 50.3% growth over the past year. For comparison - Red Hat grew by only 14.8%. The reason for this is including the use of RHEL on a larger number of servers than indicated in the purchased license. Nevertheless, in the future, the number of free Linux installations will grow, especially those distributions that are developed by the open source community: corporate users decided to live by the principle of “take everything from life (and right away)” - the CIO explicitly says that need to be less dependent on the vendor.
IDC, after all the above, concludes that 2009 will be a turning point for the perception of Linux by users in view of the reorientation during the economic crisis.

So that!
