Canonical is known as the company behind Ubuntu, the world’s most popular Linux. According to Truelist research, 47% of professional developers prefer Linux and 33.9% of them use Ubuntu. In the age of AI, when open source is everywhere, Canonical supports from hardware up to cloud native apps and their portfolio spans hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. By joining forces with PNY's AI Infrastructure expertise, the two companies hope to deliver modern AI solutions that not only meet current market requirements, but can also scale to anticipate future needs.
Christophe Lacroix, Software manager at PNY, declared: "At PNY, our mission is to provide the best Artificial Intelligence solutions based on NVIDIA GPU technologies.
