Features Reduce costs

 

Lower the costs of your data centre

Ubuntu Server Edition is an opportunity for businesses to achieve real savings within their IT infrastructure. Ubuntu Server includes what is needed to provide a service, nothing more. This lean, efficient architecture sees more services delivered with less computing power and less resources required. Ubuntu Server's streamlined, built-for-purpose technology means there is less to go wrong.

 

Easy server maintenance

For skilled administrators Ubuntu Server also offers fewer components to maintain, making administration a refreshingly simple process. Many standard services can take just 15-30 minutes to configure.

 

Automatic updates

After the initial configuration, maintenance and security updates are automatic so the system can simply run and run, providing vital services without the need for intervention. Even upgrades are managed seamlessly, with Ubuntu's twin path of short and long-term support periods offering a choice between the latest technologies and the stability of five-year support.

 

Packaged applications

Applications are often referred to as packages in Ubuntu because, unlike other Linux systems, the application and the dependencies required to run it are 'packaged' together. This means administrators can start, stop, shut down and manage applications running on Ubuntu with a single command. Canonical's Landscape makes it even easier to extend this management to a farm of servers, optimising the administrator's time and maximising your data centre's uptime.

 

Reduce power consumption

Ubuntu Server reduces your power consumption with technologies like Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, Power Capping and PowerNap. Provide better services while reducing your data centre's energy use. Ubuntu brings the experience of maximising notebook and netbook battery life to the server environment, creating an operating system that is efficient at its core.

 

Licence-free

Ubuntu Server is provided free of licensing and subscription fees. The Ubuntu security team provides vital maintenance and security updates for free. So subscription and licence fees can be reassigned to pay for services such as Landscape, consulting and technical support that add significant value to your organisation.
