November 30, 2025 -Red Hat the leading provider of open source solutions for Internet infrastructure, announced today that sales of Red Hat Linux 7 represent 40 percent of all Linux sales in Japan, gaining the largest share, according to BCN market survey report . (BCN Market View.)
BCN Market View is a market report compiled and released yearly by Computer News and is based on a survey of actual sales at 316 outlets of nine major personal computer retail sales companies.
Red Hat Linux 7 was released in Japan in October 2000 and offers enhanced security features, as well as connection to Red Hat Network, Red Hat's Internet management tool.
Open Source Momentum
International Data Corp. (IDC) research states that paid Linux shipments
grew faster than any other server operating system over the past two
years, and their preliminary figures for 1999 show Linux shipments hold
24.6 percent of the server operating system market, up from 15.8 in
1998. IDC also states that Red Hat holds 50.2 percent of Linux vendor
market share and that Red Hat Linux is by far the most popular
distribution, preferred by 68.7 percent of U.S. Linux users.
Research firm Netcraft, Inc. http://www.netcraft.com, states that as of May 2000, 30 percent of all public Web sites run on Linux-based operating
systems, making Linux the most popular choice for deploying public Web
sites. IDC research shows 40 percent of all spending on Linux servers is
for Internet related applications, firmly entrenching Linux servers in
the Internet infrastructure.
Finally, IDC predicts that by 2002, there will be more than 55 million
handheld and notebook-style information appliance devices and that by
2005, shipments of these appliances will exceed shipments of PCs.
Red Hat's numerous alliances with industry leaders and the demand for
Linux-based applications has created open source support from many of
the industry's leading software and hardware manufacturers, including
Dell, Compaq, Computer Associates, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel,
Netscape, Novell, Oracle and SAP.
