OT - UNIX market

2002-01-09 Thread Andrey Bronfin

Just curious - anybody knows how is the UNIX market divided between various
vendors (sun , HP , Compaq , IBM etc..) ?

And how the DB market divided grouped by UNIX vendor ?
I believe that DB2 is the leader on AIX , Ms SQL server - on NT ,
PostgresSQL or MySQL on linux , while Oracle has most installations on
Solaris or HP-UX.
What do U think ?
thanks !

Andrey:

  Gartner and IDC publish several documents on the split of revenues, number
of licenses, number of servers, etc. for the unix market.  I believe the
order is:
1. Sun
2. HP  IBM
3. Compaq Tru64
4. Others like Fujitsu, Data General, etc.

IBM has gained significant ground in the UNIX market with their adoption of
Linux.  Compaq has been losing ground with the Alpha Technology, however,
their support of the Itanium chip may change that.  HP is still attempting
to push the SuperDome servers on the market, but their cost is extremely
high.  Sun, on the other hand, has its own problems:  proprietary
architecture, etc.)  The big three are suffering greatly from the .com
explosion.

In terms of Databases on servers, Oracle dominates the overall unix
marketplace, including IBM.  Linux dominates the low-end servers like Compaq
Intel-based technologies and is slowly gaining ground on the IBM platform.

Hope this helps.

And every survey I see says that on NT, Oracle and MS SQL are nearly
neck-and-neck. I recall this past year MS SQL edged ahead by a
tenth-of-a-point market share and Microsoft was really bragging about how
they had trounced Oracle.

Surveys paid for by who?  See who's footing the Bill so to speak.
