According to a new data center survey, Windows-based servers are more than twice as common in the enterprise as Linux servers.

<p>(Pingdom.com) According to a new data center survey, Windows-based servers are more than twice as common in the enterprise as Linux servers.</p><p>The Symantec-sponsored survey included answers from the IT departments of 1,780 enterprises in 26 countries. It included small, medium-sized and large enterprises from a wide variety of industries, with the lower limit being companies with at least 1,000 employees.</p><p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2754/4271686448_49c4bd9ec6_o.png" border="0" width="580" height="529" /><br /><em>Above: Windows still going strong as a server OS.</em></p><p>The chart above shows the averaged numbers from all answers and is taken directly from the report. </p><p>What is interesting isn&rsquo;t just the relationship between Linux and Windows, but that Unix flavors like for example Sun Solaris and HP-UX are still in wide use and nearly as common as Linux. Also, if you choose to look at all the *nix OSs as a group, that group is 70% larger than the Windows segment.</p><p>It should be noted that this was just one small snippet of information from the report, which has a wealth of data center-related information. At 83 pages it takes a while to go through it, though.</p><p>Data source: Symantec&rsquo;s 2010 State of the Data Center Report.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <a href="http://www.gawkwire.com/web_hosting/3035.html">http://www.gawkwire.com/web_hosting/3035.html</a> http://www.gawkwire.com/technology/state_of_the_vlogosphere.html 2010-01-05T06:45:00-05:00 2010-01-05T06:45:00-05:00 Robin Wauters (TechCrunch)

<p>(<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com" target="_blank">TechCrunch</a>) Media search and discovery site MeFeedia this morning released its first State of the Vlogosphere report since 2007. The main take-away: video blogs have exploded since the last update, but most vloggers stick to the best known video hosting sites for distribution and promotion purposes.</p><p>No surprises there, but since MeFeedia&rsquo;s video search engine self-reportedly tracks over 30,000 video sources across the Web, the company slapped some interesting numbers on the most apparent trends.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/05/mefeedia-state-of-the-vlogosphere-2010/" target="_blank">...Go to source<br /></a></p> <a href="http://www.gawkwire.com/technology/state_of_the_vlogosphere.html">http://www.gawkwire.com/technology/state_of_the_vlogosphere.html</a> http://www.gawkwire.com/business/twitter_kicks_off_2010_hiring_people_away_from_google_bebo_ning_.html 2010-01-04T06:15:00-05:00 2010-01-04T06:15:00-05:00 Robin Wauters (TechCrunch)
