Washington Area CTO Roundtable

Current Meeting

Date: Friday, January 22, 2010
Time: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Topic: The State of Open Source – beyond Linux and MySQL
The best known Open Source software is Linux. According to IDC, Linux has almost a 15% share of the server market by dollars. That doesn't even count the millions of freely deployed Linux servers. But Open Source has grown up beyond well-known infrastructure software like Linux, Apache and MySQL. Open Source now plays at all levels of the software stack, including critical business applications such as CRM, ERP, and BI. Gartner predicts that by 2011 Open Source software will account for 27% of the $169.2 billion software market.

Open Source is also having a major impact on computing by enabling the availability of low-cost, ubiquitous, network computing resources (cloud computing). Cloud enabled applications will arise in 2010 as the next generation of software-as-a-service. The SaaS market is evolving from multi-tenant monolithic infrastructures towards open, distributed SaaS applications powered by open source and cloud computing. These new "distributed SaaS" applications, powered by cloud computing services, are proving an attractive alternative to the older multi-tenant solutions.
