Let’s be real—managing enterprise IT today is no walk in the park. Between juggling hardware vendors, handling software orchestration, and keeping everything secure and online 24/7, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly putting out fires instead of driving innovation. And with the growing adoption of containers and Kubernetes, that complexity isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
So, what if you could cut through the chaos and actually simplify things—without sacrificing performance or control? That’s exactly what Supermicro is aiming to do. And when paired with Canonical’s Kubernetes expertise and Intel-powered servers, they’re not just offering a product—they’re offering peace of mind.
A Solid Partnership Built to Solve Real Problems
Supermicro has been building powerful, energy-efficient servers for decades and recently crossed over $7 billion in revenue—proof that they’re doing more than just keeping up. Their clients range from cloud service providers and enterprises to research labs and Fortune 500 companies.
Now, they’ve teamed up with Canonical, the team behind Ubuntu and one of the biggest names in open-source cloud solutions. Canonical knows how to do Kubernetes right—it’s baked into the core of what they offer. Together, these two companies are tackling the infrastructure puzzle from both ends: robust hardware that just works, and containerized software stacks that scale easily.
It’s a smart partnership that’s all about helping you deploy faster, manage less, and get more done.
