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."

"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."

"A year ago, we made the decision to make the transition from Microsoft to Linux. The licence pricing was becoming too much for us, and we didn’t want to adopt Microsoft Vista. Ubuntu was the best distribution we tested. It doesn’t compromise on user experience, it’s solid, and it works with all our hardware."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

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

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