Recent changes by virtualization software vendors have had a wide-scale, cross-industry impact, leading to increasing costs and perceived instability of proprietary software contracts. There’s a growing appetite for cost-effective virtualization alternatives that won’t lock organizations into a single vendor, but will still deliver the portfolio breadth and enterprise support they need – a rare combination in the proprietary space.

If you’re looking for a future proof platform that gives you more control over your data, infrastructure, and operations, going open source is the way forward. With open source infrastructure, you can build a solution tailored to your unique requirements without special purpose hardware or expensive licenses, significantly reducing your total cost of ownership (TCO).

This is where Canonical can help. With our expertise in delivering open source infrastructure, we can help you migrate to a virtualization alternative that fits your needs and doesn’t lock you in. We can provide the support you need for production-grade reliability and compliance.
