8211;- Despite commoditization, intensive transaction processing, and growing competition from higher-performance servers, the global application server software platform (http://www.strategyr.com/Application_Server_Software_Platform_Market_Report.asp) market is forecast to grow at a steady pace over the period 2008 to 2015. The year 2008 was a breakthrough and action-packed one, especially for open source firms, and is likely to be bright even in 2009, particularly in business purchase patterns, evolving enterprise software stack, and shifting software business models. In fact the current economic slowdown has prompted companies to keep an eye on the IT spending. As recession winds blew even into 2009, the organizations were forced to make structural changes in the software arena to cut cost. Thus the adoption of open source software with zero licensing costs resulted in steep fall in total costs, particularly in new projects. Open source software market is likely to witness stronger growth rates than proprietary software market, as users migrate to open source software.
Regionally, North America represents the largest market, followed closely by Europe. Faster than the two would be the rapidly developing Asia-Pacific region. Though representing a small
base, Rest of World has emerged as the fastest growing market for application server software platform over the period 2008-2015.
Unix (http://www.strategyr.com/Application_Server_Software_Platform_Market_Report.asp) is the
largest of all application server software platforms. However, Windows and Linux-based (http://www.strategyr.com/Application_Server_Software_Platform_Market_Report.asp) application servers
are eating away the share of Unix-based application servers. Clearly, this implies that the rate of growth for Windows and Linux-based application servers outpaces that of Unix-based
application servers.
The global marketplace is characterized by participants such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, BEA Systems, Sun Microsystems (acquired by Oracle), Hitachi, Fujitsu, Micro Focus, Adobe Systems,
Red Hat, Borland Software, SpringSource, Sybase, NEC, Apache Software, TmaxSoft, Progress Software, BroadSoft, Novell.
