Full bottom-up automation
Save your time and energy by automating all your cloud processes, from bare metal to applications.
High-level abstraction
Bootstrap and operate the cloud with ease through an intuitive command-line interface.
Way more than just a cloud
Rely on our expertise to give your enterprise everything it needs. When deployed by us Canonical OpenStack is way more than just a cloud. It is an end-to-end cloud solution.
Expandable containers layer
Need a Kubernetes cluster? No problem: simply get it from the dashboard. Canonical OpenStack comes with an expandable containers layer, enabling your teams to provision Canonical Kubernetes installations on demand.
Cloud storage
Store up to 128 TB of data per node with no additional cost. Canonical Ceph, included by default, is a highly scalable storage platform, providing both traditional and cloud-native storage options as required in heterogenous environments.
Observability stack
Equip your operations teams with an integrated observability stack. Metrics, distributed traces, logs, and alerts: everything is collected automatically and unified under a single, intuitive dashboard.
Centralized system management
Automate security patching, auditing, and compliance tasks across your entire Ubuntu estate. Landscape is a centralized system management tool that lets you enroll all those processes at scale.
Bare metal automation
Modernize your data center processes, such as server provisioning, with Canonical MAAS. A full bare metal automation platform is included in the price of Canonical’s consulting packages for OpenStack.
Full commercial support across your entire open source estate
Cover your Canonical OpenStack installation with the most comprehensive subscription for open source software security. With Ubuntu Pro you get up to 12 years of stability across all the layers of the stack: from infrastructure to applications and data.
Tailored to the most demanding market needs
No matter the complexity of your project, Canonical OpenStack is right there to provide you with an enterprise cloud solution.
HPC and AI/ML
Where workload performance matters, Canonical OpenStack excels. Take advantage of GPU virtualization and other types of acceleration techniques to get 100% from your hardware.
Telco NFVI
Build next-generation mobile networks on top of a carrier-grade, cloud-native infrastructure. Canonical OpenStack ships with leading EPA features to guarantee high performance in latency-sensitive environments.
Public sector
Harden your infrastructure, and adhere to various national, and global compliance standards. Canonical OpenStack is designed to be deployed in fully offline environments to safeguard national interests and guarantee the highest level of security.
Financial services
Port mission-critical, financial applications to a future-proof cloud platform. Canonical OpenStack stands out for cost-effectiveness, while ensuring the required level of stability and resilience.
Any silicon, any hardware, any storage
From lightweight architectures to IBM mainframes. We work with leading silicon and hardware manufacturers to make sure their platforms are tested and certified with Ubuntu. Is your hardware missing on the list below? Let us know. We will certify it for you.
Integrate with ease with any
third-party software
Canonical OpenStack uses pure upstream OpenStack APIs, enabling smooth integration with third-party open source and proprietary software. Simply do it yourself or rely on our expertise to enable the integration for you.
Migration-as-a-Service
Move your workloads to OpenStack with ease from proprietary virtualization platforms or public clouds. Canonical partners with leading ISVs providing so-called Migration-as-a-Service tools.
Cloud management platforms
Manage your entire cloud estate, including public and private clouds from a single pane of glass. Leading cloud management platforms provide native integration with OpenStack APIs.
Backup and recovery
Ensure consistency of your workloads by taking regular backups and testing recovery procedures. Agentless backup and recovery solutions usually integrate with Canonical OpenStack out of the box.
Billing and invoicing
Turn your Canonical OpenStack installation into a fully functional, regional public cloud platform. Get tenant metrics directly from OpenStack databases or integrate with leading billing and invoicing tools.
Highly scalable and composable enterprise cloud solution
Large-scale clusters consisting of hundreds of nodes: this is the space where Canonical OpenStack thrives.
While other Canonical solutions like MicroCloud fit perfectly simple scenarios and smaller scales, Canonical OpenStack is designed to serve more advanced, sophisticated use cases that require customization and integration.
Get started with both under a single build and choose an enterprise cloud solution that suits your needs the best.
