Linux Datacenters Virtualize More, See Big TCO Savings

,----[ Quote ]
| There are other, more quantifiable reasons for the increased amount of Linux 
| virtualization use. Just 56 percent of Windows users believe that virtualization 
| helps to better utilize hardware, while 77 percent of Linux users realize that 
| benefit. 
| 
| Linux users also seem to fare better with power and space consumption. When asked 
| if they felt that their data center was running out of electrical capacity, only 26 
| percent of Linux users agreed with that statement, with 44 percent of Windows users 
| concerned about power. Posed the similar question about floor space, 31 percent of 
| Linux users are looking for more room, and 42 percent of Windows users are feeling 
| cramped.
