Server operating system per market segment Here too, little has changed over the last three years. The same goes for OS/400 systems, which we still find in approximately 3 percent of the locations. These will be proprietary systems that simply cannot be converted into a newer platform. This rate has gone virtually unchanged over the past 3 years. We still find UNIX systems in about 1.5% of the locations. Sometimes a bit below that figure, and a bit above over the last few years. The peculiar thing about the use of LInux is that the percentage of businesses using Linux servers continues to hover around 10%.

In 2013 “Windows Server 2008” was in use by approximately 55 percent of the aforementioned businesses with 50 or more employees.

We expect that it will certainly be another five years or so before this new OS will be the most used Server OS. Since then, we can see that this OS has fallen by a couple of percentage points (about 2.5%) on the Dutch business market among businesses with 50 or more employees. “Windows Server 2016” appeared on the market at the end of last year, in October 2016 to be precise.
