On December 15, at the Operating Systems Conference 2023, the International Data Corporation (IDC) released the "2023 Server Operating System Report". According to an IDC report**, in 2023, OpenEuler will have the largest market share in China's server operating system field, reaching 368%。
This data marks the first time that China has achieved leapfrog development in the field of operating systems in the field of basic software, relying on the strength of the whole industry chain and through open source co-construction. OpenEuler is emerging as a solid software foundation for China's digital infrastructure.
The success of OpenEuler is inseparable from the contributions of its open source community. Since its establishment, the OpenEuler open source community has always adhered to the principle of "co-construction, sharing, and co-governance", and has worked with the entire industry chain to build a sustainable operating system industry ecosystem. Since the open-source community, it has attracted more than 16,800 open source contributors, established 103 special interest groups, and more than 1,300 leading enterprises, research institutions, and universities have joined it to jointly promote the development of OpenEuler.
The power of this co-construction is not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality. A number of mainstream operating system vendors at home and abroad have released commercial distributions based on the OpenEuler route, which is the industry-wide recognition of OpenEuler technology and ecology. A total of 1 million sets will be deployed in 2021 and 3 million sets in 2022, and at present, the cumulative installed capacity of OpenEuler will exceed 6.1 million sets, which is a great achievement in the field of operating systems.
OpenEuler's success is not accidental, but based on its unique strengths: innovation, openness, and win-win. OpenEuler enables the entire industry chain to participate in the development and improvement of products through open source co-construction, so as to achieve rapid technology iteration and product upgrades. This model not only improves the quality of products, but also reduces development costs, so that more enterprises and institutions can enjoy advanced technology and products.
The openness of openEuler is reflected in its wide applicability. Whether it is in the field of communications, finance, energy, or public utilities, OpenEuler can provide stable and efficient solutions. This wide applicability enables OpenEuler to achieve significant market share in different industries.
The win-win spirit of openeuler is the key to its success. OpenEuler enables all contributors to benefit from open-source through open source, and this win-win model stimulates the active participation of the entire industry chain to jointly promote the development of OpenEuler.
The rapid development and remarkable achievements of the openeuler community have made it gradually become a world-class open source operating system community. At present, the OpenEuler community has carried out in-depth cooperation with 9 major overseas open source associations, providing services for more than 150 countries and regions, gathering global open source forces, contributing Chinese wisdom, and building a new global open source ecosystem. The success of the openeuler community is not achieved overnight, but is based on its profound technical background, open ecosystem, and win-win model. These are all important cornerstones for the continuous development and innovation of the OpenEuler community in the future.
The rise of the OpenEuler community has also given an important enlightenment to the domestic software industry: only through the joint efforts and collaboration of the entire industry chain can the rapid development and transcendence of the basic software field be realized. The successful experience of the OpenEuler community will become an important reference for the future development of China's software industry. OpenEuler has successfully created a new model and system of open source in China, which also represents that China is moving from an open source country to an open source power.
Looking ahead, OpenEuler and the OpenEuler community will continue to lead a new chapter in the commercial deployment of operating systems. With the in-depth development of the digital economy, the importance of the operating system, as the core component of basic software, will become more and more prominent. OpenEuler and the OpenEuler community will continue to lead in this field with their advantages of innovation, openness, and win-win.
We expect that in the future, OpenEuler and the OpenEuler community will continue to uphold the principle of "co-construction, sharing, and co-governance", and work together with the entire industry chain to promote the development and innovation of China's basic software field. At the same time, we also expect more enterprises and institutions to participate in this open ecosystem to share the dividends brought by technological innovation and jointly write a new chapter in the commercial deployment of operating systems.
