"The cost savings speak for themselves but Ubuntu OpenStack makes sense for a number of other reasons. Firstly, the community. No other distribution has such an embedded, active and enthusiastic developer community. This gives us great confidence in the future evolution of the technology as a communitybased approach galvanises true …

"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."

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

"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."

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

“We realised that open source was the best option and went for Fedora. While the first three years were certainly a success, we wanted to introduce an operating system that was easier to use but still offered the look and feel of a powerful computing environment, without sacrificing the budget.”

"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."

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

"Ubuntu has been the perfect OS from the start given its popularity with developers and its cloud capabilities."

"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."

"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."

"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’re reinventing how we scale by becoming simpler and modular, similar to how applications have evolved in cloud data centers. Open source and OpenStack innovations represent a unique opportunity to meet these requirements and Canonical’s cloud and open source expertise make them a good choice for AT&T."

"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."
