A recent study shows that 76.4% of large companies plan to increase the number of Linux servers next year and a time horizon of five years, the percentage rises to 79.4%, when less than 50% will invest in Windows.

The expansion of the platform will be made, in part, "at the expense" of a declining investment in Windows servers. Or at least that is the relationship suggested by figures showing that, looking for the next five years, only 21.3 percent of organizations say they have plans to acquire new Microsoft servers.
If they looking to the short time, the picture improves for the Redmond company, with 41.2 percent of companies to include Microsoft software on the shopping list for the next 12 months.

The findings are from a study of the Linux Foundation, which reveals not only that companies are interested in investing in new servers as Linux increasingly rely on their business tasks crucial to machines with this software.
According to the analysis, 60 percent of companies say they are increasing the use of open source platforms to support "critical tasks" within organizations.

The study was based on results collected from the world's largest companies and government organizations, analyzing the answers of 400 respondents, representing companies with profits of at least $ 500 million and 500 employees or more.
