"Ubuntu fits with both our technology and company philosophy. It is the most well-known operating system on the market and has a large community behind it. This made us feel very confident that it was the right choice."

"If you’re looking to sell on Linux, we can’t stress enough how important it is to engage with Canonical. They are approachable, super helpful and want your snap to succeed."

"Ultimately, we found that Ubuntu was less expensive and more effective than our existing operating system gradually switching to Ubuntu was a unanimous, corporationwide decision."

"We are working with Canonical to ensure we are properly supported as we scale out our Ubuntu cloud. In particular, we are looking at the Ubuntu Advantage service, which gives us access to Canonical support engineers and Openstack contributors working at Canonical, whenever we ever need them."

"The support has been fabulous. The whole team stepped up and helped us work through issues."

"At first, we just wanted to save money. But we never expected the free publicity that would result, nor did we expect to launch a profitable new business. For all our success so far, however, it still feels like we are at the beginning of our open source journey."

"We had about 100 servers in use and now 30 are running the workload. We’re trying to find use for the remaining 70. I’m optimistic we’ll find something for them although it’s obviously better to have 30 than 100."

"Juju is a key differentiator for Canonical, none of its competitor’s offer what Canonical and Juju offer to cloud service deployment. OpenStack will be a commodity in time but Juju will totally change service creation and cloud modelling. It sets Canonical apart from everyone else."

"Canonical is providing us with the ‘cloud-native’ foundation that enables us to create a smart and fully converged network. Utilising open source and best-of-breed technologies will ensure we can deliver on our convergence vision, and enable a world-leading 5G and FTTP experience for our customers."

"BootStack gave us the flexibility to have a fully baked OpenStack cloud environment in a matter of days but none of the headaches of building and management from scratch."

"The simple change from Windows and Office to Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org has saved us €2 million per year."

"We quickly rolled out 10 Ubuntu servers distributed over hundreds of kilometres to manage streaming and packet duplication services and the remote installation features of Ubuntu worked like magic."

"That was straightforward because Ubuntu is the most open of the open source distributions."

"When we discovered that Canonical was offering a new, extended support package, we didn’t hesitate to sign up. ESM effectively rendered the security problem a non-issue."

"We use Ubuntu primarily because it is such a stable and reliable operating system. ESM builds on this foundation even further, and helps us deliver an even better service to our clients."
