"Ubuntu had good support for our fibre channel and integrated very well with our Active Directory."

"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."

"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."

"A year ago, we made the decision to make the transition from Microsoft to Linux. The licence pricing was becoming too much for us, and we didn’t want to adopt Microsoft Vista. Ubuntu was the best distribution we tested. It doesn’t compromise on user experience, it’s solid, and it works …

"For the training centres, we chose Ubuntu because it builds on the software package management strengths of Debian, which is used at the Sanger Institute. And because it has out-of-the-box support for a wider range of hardware and local languages."

"Ubuntu is the ideal technology foundation for helping our customers increase service uptime and web response times. Working away faithfully in the background, Ubuntu ensures our customers can maximise their transactional revenues and deliver the best services for their own customers, day in, day out."

"Now that we have teams in Montreal, India and Japan it is important for us to have the right system and tools in place so that we can work effectively and efficiently between geographies. We can’t afford to have delays simply because the teams are distributed."

"The results have been fantastic. Ubuntu is very, very stable and the servers cope well with the lunch time ‘hit’. IT Lab usage has gone up during lunch and break times since we have been using Ubuntu. Plus, it has enabled us to increase the manageability of the network environment …

"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."

"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."

"We wanted to be certain that Kubernetes would work with Ubuntu and our other tools. That made Canonical’s distribution an easy choice. Canonical offers a pure version of Kubernetes that works seamlessly with Ubuntu. What’s more, it’s cloud neutral, and we get the added benefit of Canonical’s extensive container expertise."

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

"Livepatch is like a dream come true, both from a technical and a business standpoint. Our Ubuntu systems now rarely or never have to be rebooted. Service is continuous. That makes a big difference for user and customer satisfaction and loyalty."
