Analysts rate Canonical cloud efficiency

Total cost of operations is the long-term factor that determines how many workloads you will run on private cloud versus public cloud. In the latest 451 Research analysis of cloud economics, Canonical’s OpenStack stands out for efficiency against VMware and other OpenStack distributions. We match the public clouds, too, because we believe in multi-cloud operations.

Private clouds should be run at very high density
Capacity planning is simplified with public cloud burst
Hyper-converged infrastructure results in significant savings
Minimal overhead ensures maximum guest performance
Full automation of deployment and operations
High-availability architectures underpin our leading SLA
Service includes unlimited guest instance enterprise support
Migration of workloads from VMware for immediate savings

Cost effectiveness is essential for private infrastructure, in a world where everything is available as a service. There is no such thing as reassuringly expensive cloud infrastructure, only uncompetitive cloud infrastructure.
