Zenoss recently released its annual Open Source Management Survey, and the results are quite surprising. It turns out that over time OSS is slowly being adopted in the enterprise. While the line “98% of Enterprises use Open Source” sounds impressive, you have to take into account that it doesnt mention where these OSS deployments are used. My bet is that most of these deployments are on a few select servers – desktop users in the enterprise tend to still stick to Windows.
One shift is perhaps the use OSS mobile devices – Android to be specific – and enterprises are scrambling to be ready for the onslought of these gadgets, be it mobile phones or future slates.
