Canonical doesn't really compete in the traditional enterprise space, we're a cloud company, so you'll see us on AWS, HP Cloud, etc on the public cloud side and OpenStack for private clouds.
- DougMerritt 13y agoAlthough no doubt there are Ubuntu servers in the cloud like that, this summary seems unrealistic: > we're a cloud company Then what's up with Unity and the push towards a common interface? Cloud servers are not phones/tablets. And BTW, I think Canonical (and Microsoft) pushes towards common interfaces have been huge steps backward, no matter how well intentioned, so given that, I wish Cananical were just "a cloud company".
- jcastro 13y agoI meant in the context of servers we're a cloud company vs. traditional servers.
- ealexhudson 13y agoWhat does that mean, though? That you're not really able to support the variety of hardware you get in real life?
- eggnet 13y agoJust spit balling here but, in general enterprise OS selection is driven by software requirements. And the requirements, for enterprise linux software, tend to be RHEL or Oracle Linux... i.e., not Ubuntu Server. That would be my guess.
