Global Server Operating System Market is valued at approximately USD 16.9 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.5% over the forecast period 2022-2029. A server operating system (server OS) is a cutting-edge version of an operating system that runs on a server in a client-server architecture and delivers multiple services to client machines within the network. This system comprises an advanced-level combination of software, hardware, and network configuration services alongside a central interface to integrate security and other essential administrative processes and forms the software backbone to run various programs and applications. The growing deployments of 5G networking technologies, rise in business expenditure on constructing a robust data center infrastructure, and increasing security needs in infrastructure are the primary factors that are contributing towards the market growth around the world.

The growing penetration of hybrid cloud environments and infrastructure is anticipated to surge the demand for server operating systems in the global market. According to Statista, the worldwide market for hybrid cloud was worth around USD 85.3 billion in 2021, which is projected to grow and is likely to reach USD 262.4 billion by 2027. Therefore, these factors are likely to reinforce the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising number of co-location of data centers, as well as the increasing technological advancements are presenting various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. However, the high cost related to deployment and high server downtime is hampering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
