83 Ubuntu Testimonials

"We had about 100 servers in use and now 30 are running the workload. We’re trying to find use for the remaining 70. I’m optimistic we’ll find something for them although it’s obviously better to have 30 than 100."

"We wanted to harness the latest technologies to help us increase efficiency and deliver the best possible services to local citizens."

"When we discovered that Canonical was offering a new, extended support package, we didn’t hesitate to sign up. ESM effectively rendered the security problem a non-issue."

"Using Ubuntu Core enables us to deliver our customers tailored solutions with a very quick time to market and high ROI in a range of IoT applications. For us, it enables a trusted and reliable platform to work from which is versatile enough to apply to a number of industries. The Oceanos project is one example of this in practice. What is most exciting for us is we discover and co-create IoT solutions with our customers across a growing number of vertical solutions."

"Canonical's BootStack gave us instant access and all the benefits of a cloud platform with fixed, predictable and manageable cost comparable to public cloud. We have the assurance of a reliable, run by experts cloud platform and can grow and adapt it as we need."

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

"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 tried Ubuntu as a development platform and it quickly spread through our various projects, [so] we made a decision to host our first mobile operator deployment – Telstra – on Ubuntu."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Ultimately, we found that Ubuntu was less expensive and more effective than our existing operating system gradually switching to Ubuntu was a unanimous, corporationwide decision."
