"The move to Ubuntu Core provides security updates even faster. This in turn gives us the peace of mind that our digital signage devices are secured and that we’re as protected as we can be from the latest hacks or ransomware."
"Ubuntu had good support for our fibre channel and integrated very well with our Active Directory."
"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."
"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."
"We quickly rolled out 10 Ubuntu servers distributed over hundreds of kilometres to manage streaming and packet duplication services and the remote installation features of Ubuntu worked like magic."
"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."
"We support open source solutions and have long been using Ubuntu. In switching our desktop computers to Ubuntu, we have reduced our total cost of ownership in a significant and meaningful way. We also like the fact freedom it gives us from licensing fees and the ease with which we can deploy and manage Ubuntu systems – and because it’s so easy to use, we had no problems with users accepting the new software. Productivity was unaffected."
"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 realised that open source was the best option and went for Fedora. While the first three years were certainly a success, we wanted to introduce an operating system that was easier to use but still offered the look and feel of a powerful computing environment, without sacrificing the budget.”
"A new wave of workloads demand breakthrough efficiencies in density, energy, and operational costs which can be scaled to a customer’s IT environment."
"If you’re looking to sell on Linux, we can’t stress enough how important it is to engage with Canonical. They are approachable, super helpful and want your snap to succeed."
"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."
"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."
"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."
