Market data
Fast growing market
2.9m units in 2009, 5.5m in 2011 and may grow to 12m in 2013 (*)
Growth will accelerate in the next 3 years
Gartner expects that by 2014, 15% of traditional professional desktop PCs will be replaced by virtual desktops. Most virtual desktops will be accessed from re-
purposed PCs or thin clients.
Linux share is growing
According to a 2008 IDC report, the Linux thin client market will grow from nearly 1 million units in 2008 to 1.8 million units in 2011. Linux will reach a 30.5 percent
share of all operating system shipments on thin client devices by 2011.
