LinuxIT - first and only Silver Support Partner for Ubuntu in the UK
 
 
LinuxIT certifies Ubuntu for its support and managed services portfolio as a Silver partner.
 
 LinuxIT has reached an agreement with Canonical whereby LinuxIT provides support for the Ubuntu operating system to business and public sector organizations. Ubuntu Silver Partner 
 Ubuntu is increasingly the Linux distribution of choice for the desktop. However, successful deployment requires a partner that understands the technology as well as the organization and business drivers around its use. LinuxIT has established a reputation over the last 8 years as the credible support organization for all flavors of Linux and we are delighted to include Ubuntu now officially as part of the silver partner program.

“Like it or loathe it, Active Directory isn't going anywhere. Companies that have spent the money to deploy Active Directory are likely to stick with it, so DirectControl provides the glue between the systems. As Linux continues to infiltrate the enterprise, we expect to hear more about Centrify in the coming year.” Read more...
