"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"We absolutely believe that Ubuntu Core and snaps give us a competitive advantage. We are the only company in the IoT network management space that can guarantee a secure, always-up-to-date device for our customers’ on-premises deployments."

"Snaps allow developers to build and deploy applications in a format that’s easily portable and upgradeable across a number of IoT devices so that a cognitive relationship between the cloud and the edges of the network can be established."

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

"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"

"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."

"However, when we did need them, they responded quickly with a solution that kept our critical systems up and running – which is just the kind of commitment and responsiveness we need in the financial services industry."

"The joint GOSH-ICH website represents the public-facing image of both institutions and is often the first point of contact the public has with us. The website aims to promote our identity, publicise our expertise and communicate our values and vision."

"The new solution is definitely saving us money. Licence costs aside, the fact that we have consolidated our server infrastructure makes a big difference. As well as reducing the number of servers we need to run our day-to-day operations from 11 to four, the new virtualization software means that we …

"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 …
