"Ours is an open source infrastructure that millions of people use and thousands of people work on, so it has to be reliable, scalable and secure. Ubuntu fits the bill."
"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."
"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."
"We use Ubuntu primarily because it is such a stable and reliable operating system. ESM builds on this foundation even further, and helps us deliver an even better service to our clients."
"When we were evaluating possible server solutions, we asked Microsoft for some quotations on Microsoft Server 2003 for our servers and Microsoft Windows Vista for our desktops. The licensing costs ruled Microsoft out for us. Implementing Ubuntu on the servers and desktops in our business saved us at least £6,630 in our first month of operations alone."
"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."
"ESM literally saved our lives. It’s allowing us to upgrade from 14.04 LTS at our own pace."
"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 is the ideal technology foundation for helping our customers increase service uptime and web response times. Working away faithfully in the background, Ubuntu ensures our customers can maximise their transactional revenues and deliver the best services for their own customers, day in, day out."
"Ubuntu is used so much everywhere that you can get drivers for everything, and there’s a great community. It’s ease-of-use makes everything faster, and not just for those of us who are already familiar with it. Even engineers without a software background can work on Ubuntu without issue."
