For us at [http://www.signet.nl Signet], OpenVZ is ideal as a virtualization platform as it's open-source, no vendor lock-in's and great performance. It perfectly integrates into our high-availability SAN and server setup so it's great. ''Remco Bressers, http://www.signet.nl''

Indira Gandhi National Open University, India (IGNOU) is the world's largest open university in terms of student enrolments (2.5 + million approx.) for different programmes. Catering to the web based services to such large student fraternity is indeed a hard task. The systems and services were heavily biased towards proprietary corporations products, thereby, aggravating the quality of service to its intended audience. Moreover, virtualization was a blackbox to the IT department of IGNOU, until May 2009. Thereafter the entire networks and systems were stunned to see at least 3 Mediawiki sites , 2 Subversion server for in-house development team, 1 egroupware server on a single SUN Fire X 4140 powered by OpenVZ.
All the services live with service downtime of 5 hours(due to electrical outage, ISP downtime) since May 2009 till date.
Kudos to OpenVZ team for making this possible.
