Ubuntu and HP: A powerful combination

Increasingly popular with businesses large and small, Ubuntu Server Edition is a powerful, reliable and flexible operating system. It's easy to install and maintain, and includes frequent updates throughout its lifecycle.

Ubuntu Server Edition enables users to quickly deploy common services such as web, email, file, and database servers. It also comes with virtualization and cloud computing tools that can help companies better manage their resources.

Ubuntu Server Edition is now certified for use on industry-standard HP ProLiant servers, including the latest range of HP ProLiant G6 servers. Following a series of rigorous tests in the Canonical labs, this certification gives users the reassurance they need that their mid-range HP servers are fully compatible with Ubuntu Server Edition.

“Customers want an open operating system that reduces business risk and lowers maintenance costs. Canonical’s certification of Ubuntu Server Edition on HP ProLiant G6 servers provides customers a powerful, cost-effective, and energy-efficient operating platform.”
John Gromala, director of marketing, Industry Standard Servers, HP.

With leading Ubuntu and HP products working in tandem, customers can run their common workloads on a cost-effective and stable server platform. Customers can also minimise power consumption, maximise their virtualization potential and make every server count with improved performance and enhanced productivity.

Support offers peace of mind

HP ProLiant servers running Ubuntu Server Edition provide businesses with peace of mind that they have a reliable infrastructure on which they can depend. With two different release cycles, Ubuntu offers customers added reassurance.

Ubuntu sponsor Canonical releases a new version of Ubuntu every six months as standard. This means that it can deliver a dynamic and flexible platform that is compatible with the latest hardware updates. In addition, Canonical releases a long-term support (LTS) version every two years for systems that require enhanced stability and longer-term support.

Canonical also offers deployment, training and support services. As a result, Ubuntu users can deploy a fully-supported solution with a low total cost of ownership.
