Built for big data

Speed and simplicity, on bare metal or in the cloud

With its new rapid deployment tools, Ubuntu significantly speeds up the installation of server instances on bare metal. And the service orchestration tool, Juju, makes deploying big data services surprisingly simple - on bare metal or in the cloud. That's why vendors like 10gen, Cloudera, Couchbase, DataStax, Hortonworks and Map-R partner with us.
