There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

Despite the controversy surrounding Indian nationals and the U.S. H-1B visa program, a recent survey of Indian high-tech graduates revealed that the vast majority would rather remain in India than relocate to the United States or other foreign countries to pursue career opportunities.
The survey of 677 graduates of Indian Institutes of Technology showed a significant drop in the percentage of Indian citizens who opted to leave the country for higher education or work reasons. Evalueserve, the research and analytics firm that conducted the survey, says among those high-tech workers that graduated between 1964 and 2001, 35% moved to countries other than India. Among those graduating in 2002 and 2007, 84% remained in India and 16% decided to pursue interests elsewhere.
The research also showed that fewer Indian graduates believe other countries such as the United States would provide more opportunities than their nation of origin. Sixty percent of those graduating between 1964 and 2001 said they thought the United States and other developed countries provided better education and career opportunities. That number dropped among more recent graduates to 51% believing they would have a better chance landing a job if located outside of India.
The research shows that Indians believe they can succeed best in their own country, according to Alok Aggarwal, chairman and founder of Evalueserve and previously with IBM's Thomas Watson Research Center (during which time he helped to build IBM's Research Laboratory at IIT Delhi).
"Most strikingly, when asked, '10 years down the line, which geography do you think will hold the most promise for success?' 72% chose India, [with] only 17% opting for the U.S, 5% for Europe and 2% for China," the report reads.
Specifically regarding the United States, 30% of Indian workers who graduated between 1964 and 2001 moved to the United States, while 12% of those who graduated between 2002 and 2007 did the same. The research shows more of the latter graduates did want to move to the United States but didn't for reasons ranging from stringent visa norms post Sept. 11, high cost of living, limited scholarships and the perception of a poorer life in the United States.
