After almost a year hiatus, Port80 Software has released new surveys today on the Web server and application server technologies used on the main corporate Web sites of Fortune 1000 companies:

There is some interesting news in this latest survey: IIS 6 penetration in Web server deployments has doubled since 2005 and has overtaken Apache to serve more Fortune 1000 sites. A press release exploring this development and the surveys historically, including Microsoft’s take on the surveys, is available at http://www.port80software.com/about/press/101106.
These new survey results come at a time when Microsoft IIS has been gaining market share in the Netcraft surveys against Apache as well. ComputerWeekly.com recently pointed out that Microsoft IIS has reduced Apache’s lead in the Netcraft survey from 48.2% to 31.5% in the period from March to June 2006 alone:

ASP.NET also continues to lead in Fortune 1000 application server deployments in the second edition of that Port80 Software survey also released today.
