Linux Server Sales Robust in Q4 | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: NewsFactor | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Sales of Linux servers in the U.S. market grew 90 percent to US$384.6 million in the fourth quarter compared with the year-ago period's total of $202.2 million, according to research firm Gartner Dataquest. This growth rate seems particularly dramatic when compared with overall U.S. server sales, which inched up a mere 5 percent in the fourth quarter from the same period a year ago. | ||

| When your overall marketshare is low in the first place, achieving 90% sales growth isn't that hard to do. |

| n4cer, no matter how small you think the marketshare is $384.6 million in 1 quarter is a nice chunk of money :) |

LOL.... a few points.
1.) The Window server market share is at around $15 Billion. 2.) In 2001, the Linux server market share was at $1.7 billion, yet now it's at $385 million? So did they loose $1.3 billion in market share in about a year? What gives? At any rate, as n4cer pointed out, it's easy to increase market share when you have to place to go but up. $385 million is a pathetic result when you take into account all the propaganda we've been force fed by tech news sites like CNET/ZDNET, The Register, The Inquirer, Slashdot, etc. |

| Linux server sales were dramatically decreased in 2001 and 2002 over 2000. Are they back up to 2000 levels, or not? |

| #4, regarding the figures, they are talking about quarterly sales, not yearly. Still, there seems to be discrepencies. For example, IBM claimed that it has recouped its $1B investment into Linux already (last year), but yet the article says that last year's IBM sales for Q4 were $75.6M. Unless Q1-3 were remarkably different, I don't see how they possibly could have earned that $1B back. |

#6 - "they are talking about quarterly sales, not yearly"
Whoops! Good catch. My bad. |
