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

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

"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."

"There was no risk of lock-in with Canonical’s OpenStack. It’s close to the upstream version, so we have the freedom to fully support internally, if we want to."

"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."

"In the immediate future, all users working on Ubuntu 10.04 will be migrated to the Ubuntu 12.04 Long Term Support release,” says Zięba. “We are really looking forward to making the move, and reaping the benefits of the enhanced functionality and ease of use built-in to the Unity desktop"

"This is another milestone in our productive partnership with Canonical with the introduction of the the Intel® Compute Stick with Ubuntu."

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

"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."

"We are happy about this partnership as our customers in India will have access to Ubuntu preloaded Thinkpad L450 laptop series."

"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."

"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."

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

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