Use cases
Canonical offers you the building blocks so you can innovate at your own pace. From getting started with data science on Ubuntu workstations to scaling your big data analytics with supported database and MLOps software. All on open source.
Kick-start
your enterprise AI journey
The first step is always the hardest, especially with AI expertise in such short supply. Canonical’s professional services will help you bridge the skills gap and overcome the barriers to AI adoption.
Upskill your team and lay the groundwork for your projects with a 5-day MLOps workshop, work with us to build a PoC, or completely offload the AI operational burden with managed services.
Designed for any silicon
Improve the performance of AI workflows and accelerate project delivery by taking full advantage of hardware capabilities.
Canonical partners directly with leading silicon vendors to optimize and certify our open source software solutions with dedicated AI hardware.
Run on any cloud
Run your workloads anywhere, including hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Choose the ideal infrastructure for your use cases – start quickly with no risk and low investment on public cloud, then move workloads to your own data center as you scale. Benefit from a consistent, optimized OS, tooling and GPU support throughout your entire AI journey.
Accelerate AI innovation with open source
From development to production
on one platform
Ubuntu is the OS of choice for data scientists. Develop machine learning models on Ubuntu workstations and deploy to Ubuntu servers. Continue with the same familiar Ubuntu experience throughout the AI lifecycle, across clouds and all the way to the edge.
Enterprise data solutions
Data is at the heart of every AI project, which is why our stack includes a suite of leading open source data solutions enhanced with enterprise features. Automate and scale while enjoying predictable pricing and 10 years of enterprise-grade security and support.
Scale with MLOps
Simplify workflow processes and automate machine learning deployments at any scale with our modular MLOps solutions. Our supported Kubeflow distribution, integrated with a growing ecosystem of AI and data tooling, brings scalability, portability and reproducibility to your machine learning operations.
Power smart things with your models
AI is set to transform our factories, our cars, and our homes. We enable the innovators behind that transformation. From compute to device management, we provide the tools to power your edge AI use cases while preserving security, and compliance.
Security – never an afterthought
Confidential AI protects your models and data
Your models and sensitive data need to be secured at every stage of the ML lifecycle. With confidential AI on Ubuntu, you can protect your data and model at run-time with a hardware-rooted execution environment. Strengthen your compliance posture and safely fine-tune your model with your enterprise data.
Fast-track compliance with trusted AI software
Rapidly access all the open source software you need for AI, and run it with peace of mind. We maintain and support all of the key open source software in the AI lifecycle so you don’t have to. Leave the CVE fixes to us, so you can fast-track compliance and focus on your AI models.
What customers say
“We needed a cloud solution that was stable, reliable and performant. Canonical allowed us to do this by helping to design and deploy our cloud - and they helped us do this quickly.”
Peter Blain
Director of Product and AI, Firmus
“Partnering with Canonical lets us concentrate on our core business. Our data scientists can focus on data manipulation and model training rather than managing infrastructure.”
