Brief Analysis of Linux Server Product Market
First, review
In 2002, China's Linux operating system market has grown rapidly, and the total market has reached 525.432 million yuan, an increase of 45.6% from 2001. Global growth, good domestic economic environment and policy environment, provides better external and internal environments for China Linux's rapid growth.
In 2002, China Linux operating system market, the desktop end and server have grown rapidly, and the desktop end is still OEM, the average price is low, and the product advantage of Linux is gradually appearing in the server side.
Linux products are mainly distributed in three fields: desktop fields, server areas and embedded areas. The desktop field is also basically monopoly of Microsoft; the server field has a large scale with the Windows family and UNIX; it is predicted that Linux in the embedded field will account for about 50% of the entire market in the next two years.
Zhongke Hongqi's old gross Sun Yutang said that in the direction of the server, desktop and embedded three Linux development, the server and embedded Linux market prospects are the most vast future from profit perspectives.

Third, Linux server product market status
market situation:
l The global and Chinese markets have passed in the Phase of Linux, and the pilot phase has also passed, and it has begun to transition to the application phase.
l Intel servers have more and more replacing the strength of the high-end servers in the market, Linux Intel will become the mainstream of the market.
l International Well-known manufacturers IBM, HP, CA, Sun, Oracle, Sybase, etc. have launched products and solutions that support Linux.
L But because the application on Linux is relatively lacking, many Linux manufacturers have to develop applications themselves.
l Idc expects that the Linux server will grow at 25% per year in the next few years, China will remain around 40%.
l Macroeconomic Environment and policy environment will benefit the development of China's Linux software industry, but competition will be more fierce, brand concentration, competition for product competition, and value-added in channel operation will be inevitable.
l At present, Linux embedded products are still in a stage of research and have not reached the requirements of productization, and there is a need for a large amount of funding.

Fourth, conclusions and suggestions
It was found in this comparative survey. Now the Linux products on the market are mainly operated by operating systems and functional server products, and the mature commercial applications on Linux are relatively small. Linux manufacturers and users have strong demand for application software, especially in enterprise applications, and this part of the product market is relatively small.
Adhere to market-oriented, attach importance to cooperation with vendors, speed up application software development, will be the key to rapid development in the Linux software industry.
Up: Strive for government support, establish a good relationship with industry users.
Landscape: Joint in application and well-known manufacturers, using mature technology to provide applications and solutions based on its basis.
Down: Use the company's popularity and its own scale to develop end users.
Since the telecommunications and financial industry markets are usually held for large-scale well-known companies, we can avoid the development of industry-characterized software products that have industrial-characterized education, transportation, government and other industries in relatively sensitive education, transportation, government and other industries. The specific implementation Measures are as follows:
