"From a customer support perspective, the Big Board software running on the Ubuntu server has become indispensable in the technical support structure of the JHU Campus."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"Ubuntu had good support for our fibre channel and integrated very well with our Active Directory."
"This is another milestone in our productive partnership with Canonical with the introduction of the the Intel® Compute Stick with Ubuntu."
"Livepatch is like a dream come true, both from a technical and a business standpoint. Our Ubuntu systems now rarely or never have to be rebooted. Service is continuous. That makes a big difference for user and customer satisfaction and loyalty."
"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."
"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."
"The LiMux/open source project was a long and iterative one, but after a few years of running such a large Linux base, we realised Ubuntu was the platform that could satisfy our requirements best. By combining the low costs and freedom of open source software with ongoing support for the hardware and applications we need, it was one of the critical elements to the success of this project. Most important was the backing of our politicians throughout the project."
"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 Ubuntu distribution is more reliable than the alternatives. It’s stable,easy-to-use and easy-to-manage. It’s also compatible with a range of hardware, so we haven’t experienced any integration issues. That’s been particularly important because teachers and students need to be able to work with Guadalinex whether they’re in school or at home."
"We wanted to harness the latest technologies to help us increase efficiency and deliver the best possible services to local citizens."
