TowerGroup: Linux gaining in financial firms
[Posted October 9, 2002 by corbet]
An analyst company called TowerGroup has put out
a
press release on the use of Linux in financial firms.
"
TowerGroup estimates that Linux is now deployed on 14% of total servers at
North American brokerage firms. In contrast, Microsoft has 54% of the market
(both NT and 2000 combined), while Unix has 27% of the market.
However, TowerGroup believes Linux use will grow at an annual rate of 22%
in the North American securities server market between 2002 and 2005,
outpacing growth in Windows 2000, NT and Unix deployments over that same
period."
