83 Ubuntu Testimonials

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

"The university’s dual-boot computers, which are largely Dell, have seen more usage for Ubuntu than in Windows. User reaction was extremely positive, with even the most loyal Windows experts testing and appreciating the value of the new OS."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The demand for cloud services in research and education is taking momentum and Italy is no exception. GARR is applying to cloud computing the same successful community based model used for networking, setting up a Federated cloud rather than resorting just to public clouds. It is clear though that our cloud offering had to be competitive with commercial offerings, hence it was necessary to rely on extensive use of automation on OpenStack. Canonical’s entire approach to model driven operations was our best choice to achieve the right level of economics for run our service competitively. Juju has also provided us with an application marketplace that we can offer to our users and increases the take up of our services. We are ourselves actively contributing to the Juju application, in particular for teaching and e-learning, e.g. Moodle in the Cloud and Jupyter Notebooks."

"The solution had to be robust and powerful enough to process, manage, organise and deliver time-critical data to lawyers in order to prise them away from their box files. Our clients had to be convinced and, at the same time, we wanted to be free to make unplanned decisions and innovate quickly – Ubuntu OpenStack was the obvious choice."

"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 innovation."

"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 can add new services and applications at no additional cost. We also make much better use of hardware capacity by consolidating services in this way."

"Security is fantastic in Ubuntu Core - it’s a self contained system that houses all the libraries. The Ubuntu stack is read only, isolating it from interference from the outside, that’s really important for industrial environments, it prevents people from changing anything vital."

"Ubuntu’s versatility is superb. It gives us so much freedom when it comes to choosing hardware and software, and integrating the new technology with Bo is quick and easy."

"Getting up and running with Ubuntu was completely straightforward. Since we were already familiar with common Linux platforms, Ubuntu didn’t present any major challenges."

"Canonical has long shared our commitment to open source innovation and has proved a vital partner in developing new, intuitive ways to bring Rocket. Chat to new markets and new potential users."
