"The user experience is vital and Ubuntu has helped to close the user-friendliness gap with proprietary software that our pilots often complained about. Ubuntu saved us from throwing in the Linux towel and using proprietary software instead. The superb hardware support and short boot time of Ubuntu finally led to …

"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."

"As companies continue to embrace Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, security and quick, easy system updates are critical."

"In our opinion, an IoT app store is the ideal solution for anyone looking to run Ubuntu Core in production for IoT devices."

"We want to be able to deliver the same high-quality experience on Linux as we do on other platforms. Snaps allow us to do just that, by giving us the ability to push the latest features straight to our users, no matter what device or distribution they happen to use."

"ESM literally saved our lives. It’s allowing us to upgrade from 14.04 LTS at our own pace."

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

"Ours is an open source infrastructure that millions of people use and thousands of people work on, so it has to be reliable, scalable and secure. Ubuntu fits the bill."

"Except the switches and routers and of course all the BIOS in the servers. We consider them to be appliances."

"His main area of concern is the cloud underlayer that can maximise the utilisation efficiency of the computer resources in the data centre, and the cloud networking which can federate various cloud services."

"His main area is developing container data centres with an outside-air cooling system. He is also trying to optimise power efficiency in cooperation with each computer resource and data center facility."

"Currently he is focused on developing turn-key solutions for hybrid clouds based on OpenStack. His main areas of expertise lie in OpenStack, embedded systems and designing ISP-grade networks."

"Deploying our new cloud infrastructure in less than three months was a real achievement. Familiarity with Ubuntu made the entire process much simpler. Its ease of use and robustness also allowed for a fast migration."

"A new wave of workloads demand breakthrough efficiencies in density, energy, and operational costs which can be scaled to a customer’s IT environment."

"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."
