|---|
Linux is set to increase its influence within the enterprise, with nearly an eight-fold increase in the number using the operating system to run mission-critical business software expected in the next three years.
According to enterprise application analysts Peerstone Research, 15% of enterprise resource planning applications will be run on Linux servers by 2007, up from just 2% currently.
Indeed evidence of Linux's breakthrough into the core enterprise stack was echoed by IBM, which said software revenue on Linux had quadrupled between 2002 and 2003.
