Signposts of GNU/Linux Growth in 2007, Part 2 (Datamation)

[Posted January 7, 2008 by jake]

Datamation's Roy Schestowitz completes his survey of areas of Linux growth in 2007. "Another important mistake is to assume that all GNU/Linux servers are sold, as opposed to deployed. As stated earlier, Google is estimated to have approximately one millions servers, but the number remains unknown due to corporate secrecy. Google is able to build and even distribute its own servers, so such server usage can easily go below the radar of industry analysts, whose definitions are strictly controlled by those who commission studies for vanity and marketing purposes."
