Abstract
This IDC study provides an overview of the market size and forecast from 2024 to 2028 for global spending on enterprise servers by server operating system (OS). It also provides a segmentation of this market view and forecast by workload categories and workloads.
"The choice of server operating system environment to support a workload is becoming ever more critical as organizations weigh the pros and cons of each platform," says Max Pepper, senior research analyst, IT Infrastructure, IDC. "While the preference for Linux is growing rapidly, especially with emerging workloads like AI and edge, we expect both Linux and Windows will continue to have their support in the enterprise infrastructure market as they play a critical foundational role for workloads running on server systems."
