Article title: Unix, Linux, Win vs. server market. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Some basic classification server markets, such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source, are now growing with the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the promotion of Intel's 45nm processor technology is not only a milestone in the industry, but also a climax in the server industry, and these are in view of breakthroughs in hardware, for servers, another important part is the software-the operating system, which is the "soul" of business development and the ability of servers to truly provide service applications ". I will analyze the application of some mainstream operating systems on the server to provide some minor references for enterprises to select the server operating system for their business needs.

First, the server is an application device of an enterprise, and its operating system is also different from the PC operating system. the server operating system can be understood as a network operating system, which is in a specific network, it undertakes additional management, configuration, stability, security, and other functions, and is at the heart of each network. the meaning of its network operating system also comes from this.
In fact, for personal operating systems that are mainly Microsoft WINDOWS, regardless of office and software applications, WINDOWS operating systems have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, however, in recent years, enthusiasts have also selected Apple's operating system MACOS as the image office needs, while the server operating system as the basis for the service and application of a large amount of enterprise data, with its stable features, multiple management functions and security configurations are not available in the PC operating system and are mainly divided into four major genres: WINDOWS, NETWARE, UNIX, and LINUX. It is worth noting that due to various reasons, the NetWare server operating system has a very limited market share and is mainly used in some specific industries. In view of this, the author makes a comparative analysis with the WINDOWS, UNIX, and LINUX server operating systems. who is the master in the server market?
As we all know, the release of Microsoft's new generation server operating system SERVER2008 not only greatly enhances its strength in the server field, but also brings a huge shock to the industry. Its powerful functions, and the benefits of inheriting SERVER2003, expand its stronger functions, all of which have a new impact on the field of server operating systems. In recent years, the server operating system market, the shrinking of the Unix market, the slowdown in Linux growth, and the rapid growth of Windows have become an indisputable fact. how does the competitive landscape change in the server operating system market, just like playing the NBA semi-finals, I will give you a detailed explanation.
The Unix market was hit by the same impact as the Celts, and entered the quarter-finals as the first member of the league. However, it was under a strong impact from the Hawks and suffered 7 battles, and finally entered the next round without fear... The same is true for Unix operating systems. despite the impact, the possession of the high-end market still has its advantages.

Unix can be said to be the longest operating system on the server. it once had a significant advantage in the market. However, with the increasing importance of the Windows and Linux server markets, the number of installations is also increasing, unix has been impacted by Windows and linux, and its market share has declined to varying degrees every year. However, thanks to its high performance and high reliability in hardware, as well as the good combination of Unix and the hardware of many server vendors, Unix will still have room for its survival and development in the future. Especially in the Chinese market, there are still many Unix applications in key fields such as finance and telecommunications, all of which rely on Unix for high reliability, in addition, migrating from Unix to other systems is troublesome for users.
Overlord of Linux server system
As the most stable team, the Spurs have a single style of play, but it is such a stable and reliable style of play that makes them a champion in the game, often at risk... The Linux server system is also similar. the stable and secure application has always had a great advantage in the field of enterprise server operating systems.

When talking about Linux applications, I first thought about Linux applications on enterprise-level servers. this is true because of the stable performance and low cost of Linux, this gives Linux the largest share of the server market, and Linux security is also an important reason for its occupation of the market.
As we all know, servers are generally enterprise-level applications. Therefore, system security is crucial for enterprise application systems and business. However, Linux has a single and specific characteristics for enterprise business servers.
New Windows users
The Rockets were given constant surprises to fans. The new record of the 22-game winning streak gave the Rockets a deeper position in the hearts of fans, despite the poor semi-finals and injuries, but they gradually adjust themselves and seek breakthroughs in the future ......
The same is true for Windows systems. achievements in the personal field are insufficient to represent the Overlord. the enterprise server system field is its new user, and it is their goal to develop new users.

With the continuous development of Microsoft in the server field, some of the advantages of Linux in the past are being challenged, while Windows systems can integrate the current server into virtual servers. With the release of Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Windows has enhanced its virtualization advantages over Linux.
In addition, compared with the cost of Windows, Linux is also facing the challenge of Windows. Generally, all costs of enterprise-level server systems include hardware, software, and support costs. although the deployment cost of Linux software is lower than that of Windows, for enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises, after deployment, services and maintenance are crucial. for small and medium-sized enterprises that lack IT management personnel, the cost of maintenance and management is a problem that needs to be considered in the Linux operating system.
Summary:
It can be seen that, in the competition for Windows, Linux, and UNIX operating systems, Windows is facing the increasing maturity of server applications and the slowdown in migration from Unix to Linux, reducing service and maintenance costs to win new users is the key to Linux's sustainable development. At the same time, for Windows, how to change the original enterprise-level application platform and attract more users to the Windows Server System field is the most worth considering. In addition, despite the impact of the UNIX market, however, the appeal to the high-end market is still the main guarantee. The market is stable. in the future, who will occupy a larger market share and who will be "dominant" in the enterprise server field ", we have to wait and see!
