As a Telco or Cloud Service Provider, you have much more stringent requirements of your infrastructure than a normal enterprise. You expect high availability, almost 100% uptime, and the ability to scale infrastructure and services up and down quickly and easily. You want a technology that helps you minimise time to revenue and maximise predictability around costs.
Here are some of the reasons to choose Ubuntu OpenStack supported by Canonical:
- Largest install base of any OpenStack distribution – 55-75% of OpenStack clouds are built on Ubuntu
- 60-70% of leading public cloud workloads run on Ubuntu
- 7 of the world’s leading Telcos are Canonical customers
- Largest ecosystem, with over 100 different permutations of solutions tested every day in our OpenStack Interoperability Lab (OIL)
- Extensive portfolio of tools to make hardware provisioning, service deployment
and orchestration, and cloud operation management quick, easy, and hassle-free
