*BSD server market share as of 2014
Just curious, does anyone know a source of statistics on market share for various versions of various BSD OSes? Hopefully with methodologies that aren't completely out to lunch? :) A bit of Googling found me one company that did this sort of thing; but they listed the combined server market share of all the BSDs as less than 1%, and mostly on very low-end servers. I have a hard time believing that is the case. (At least, I hope not...)

Kind of hard to tell. I'll assume it is low but a well made system wouldn't tell, nor would a system that served internal use.

Seeking in internet and for my experience, I could say about 2%.
I don't know, but about servers I've always had the feeling that *BSD is used just for small things (home or very little company). Usually Linux or Solaris/HP-UX/AIX are used. |

Clearly I just talk for my experience, having worked for big companies I've never seen *BSD (unfortunately) but just Linux/Unix with support contracts. Anyway it would be nice to have some statistics, to understand if I'm just talking about my "little world" or it's a more general thing. |
Enterprise-supported BSD (BSDi) diminished with Wind River Systems dropping BSD altogether: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD/OS
Nowadays BSD ist mostly used internally inside storage and network appliances which then talk to Linux boxes with support contracts. And of course, no one has ever been fired for buying Red Hat. It's the same all over again. ;) |
