Personally, I would read that as a clue indicating an increasing commercial
sales pressure for distributed GIS applications, not an indicator of real
demand.

Server apps are Open Source's strongest historical domain, so I would imagine
any strong customer demand in that area to be quickly and strongly satisfied by
the FOSS community.

Are you thinking like a Oracle spatial data repository, or server based data
viewer, or server based GIS processing & analysis software?

Have a look at all the Web Mapping projects from OSGeo too:
