Industry Trends
• In 2009, IDC predicted UNIX market would go from
$69 BN in 2008 towards $75 BN in 2013.
• In 2013, IDC predicted UNIX market would slide from

Linux Today
• 90% of High-performance computing (HPC) market.
• 65% of smart mobile devices, 55% of embedded systems.
• 90% of OS migrations are from UNIX, more than 50% are landing
on linux systems.
• 15-20% of organizations have some legacy UNIX misc apps.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADAPT IN FUTURE?
• Evolution of Work– Virtual lab environments– GitHub, Laravel
• Mobility and Internet of Everything– Security– LAMP
• Software Defined Everything– Virtual Compute
• Big Data – In memory databases (TimesTen, 12g)– Distributed (Hadoop, MapReduce, NoSQL)
