With open source software in the world's growing influence, Linux server, desktop, industry-specific areas such as access to a substantial development, especially in the server space, Linux has gained remarkable achievements. Now what more features will be added to the Linux and technology, products, and market various aspects of the Linux OS. In short what will be the future development of the Linux operating system?

In the field of high-end server operating system, with the open source software in the world's growing influence, Linux Server Operating system in the server operating system market to gain more and more the pattern of market share, and formed a large-scale market adoption situation. Linux has aroused great concern in the global IT industry, and to a strong momentum into the server OS The backbone of the field.

At present the foreign server using the server operating system vendors include SUN's SOLARIS, IBM's AIX, HP's HP-UX, including UNIX family of products is almost accounted for the majority of the high-end server market, and some low-end server market, WINDOWS Series occupy a larger share of low-end server market, LINUX because of its cost advantage in low-end market is also a good performance and significant market share rise. The current domestic situation of the server operating system, basically similar to the foreign countries, high-end server OS Market fundamentals for the UNIX platform, occupied, because the domestic market for low-end servers to maintain large amount, so WINDOWS family of products abroad, the actual market share is relatively high, accounting for about 40%, LINUX because of the characteristics of low-cost, has also made approximately 35% of the market share.

Since 2001, based on the Linux server operating system, the progressive development and growth. Domestic several major Linux vendors and research institutes, National Defense University, the successful tendered software, such as Red Flag has introduced a Linux server operating system products, and has been in government, business and other fields of application. The overall level from the system point of view, Linux Server OS Compared with the growing gap between high-end Unix family is small, in many areas the situation of coexistence has been achieved.

Compared with these three major competitors, NeoShine Linux Server Products are currently the main disadvantage is that the brand influence; advantage is that we have the products for the market segments relatively rich (and also brought increased management costs) and the other in the product customization also has certain advantages. The specific competitive strategy at this stage of competition or the use of differentiation strategies, highlighting products in the market segments of a rack solutions, customized solutions, the advantages for the needs of key market segments to enhance the competitiveness of products in order to increase the number of end-user primary objective.

Flexible and customizable is the difference between Linux and Windows, a prominent advantage of functional modules through the Linux cut, some users do not need to remove the modules, providing for the needs of specific user-specific products, which not only enhances the usefulness of Linux products , and it helps to improve efficiency and save resources, improve the safety performance. Meanwhile, the custom market is better to play the domestic Linux vendors a better understanding of the advantages of the domestic user needs can help them better control of the market place, and actively expanding Linux market. In the custom field, has many years experience of Linux system, custom system software vendor bid system, customized software as a leader in the field of domestic occupy certain market share, he has developed for the elderly for various industry-specific PC, hotel PC, Haier Jiajiale computer, set-top box systems, information release system, etc. to meet the information needs of different industries.
