Secure and robust

With regular updates, rigorous security procedures and the option of building a cloud inside your own firewall, cloud computing with Ubuntu is as secure as it gets.

Protect your data

Many businesses decide against exploring external cloud infrastructures for fear of putting sensitive data on external servers. But this need not prevent them from enjoying the benefits of cloud computing. Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, part of Ubuntu Server Edition, allows businesses to build their own cloud infrastructure on their own servers. So businesses can get all the benefits of on-demand computing, all the savings of more efficient hardware, but none of the risks of data residing outside the firewall.

Rigorous security procedures

Your data will also be safe when you choose to deploy to a public cloud with Ubuntu. Ubuntu Server is specially adapted to run on public cloud infrastructures. The images we build for Rackspace and Amazon EC2 are subject to the same rigorous security procedures, and their updates are managed by the same team and updated in the same way as images intended for server machine deployment.

Regular security updates

Ubuntu Server is protected by proactive security technology that defends your computer from typical threats. Canonical delivers updates for all supported software on Ubuntu, and publishes those updates globally. Ubuntu-based technology is easy to monitor for compliance with security policy. And Ubuntu updates only address security and critical issues - avoiding unnecessary change.
