83 Ubuntu Testimonials

"With Ubuntu, we can be confident that we have an IT environment that is very reliable. We want our customers to focus on joule — not the technology it sits on — so the fact that they have no knowledge of the operating system is testament to its reliability. It’s doing its job."

"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 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 and reduce complexity and maintenance time significantly."

"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."

"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."

"His main area is developing container data centres with an outside-air cooling system. He is also trying to optimise power efficiency in cooperation with each computer resource and data center facility."

"Currently he is focused on developing turn-key solutions for hybrid clouds based on OpenStack. His main areas of expertise lie in OpenStack, embedded systems and designing ISP-grade networks."

"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."

"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."

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

"Ubuntu is everywhere, including all the major cloud hosting companies, so we feel at home right away with all our providers. Our operational risk has been reduced even further, thanks to Ubuntu’s Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for older systems. Ubuntu is also so popular that we can immediately check for answers to any issues on the web, and the right answers and solutions can always be found fast. Ubuntu and ESM just work!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

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