Full-stack AI infrastructure
Canonical's portfolio spans the full scope of AI infrastructure, from the OS to Kubernetes and any type of cloud. Take advantage of an end-to-end solution, or pick and choose the specific components you need.
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 centre as you scale. Benefit from a consistent, optimised OS, tooling and GPU support throughout your entire AI journey.
Scale with MLOps
Simplify workflow processes and automate machine learning deployments at any scale with our modular MLOps solutions. Our secure and supported Kubeflow distribution, integrated with a growing ecosystem of AI and data tooling, brings scalability, portability and reproducibility to your machine learning operations.
Enterprise data management
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.
Simplify your data operations with extensive automation, scale with predictable pricing and run on your infrastructure of choice — all backed by 10 years of enterprise-grade security and support.
Optimised for silicon
Canonical partners directly with silicon vendors to optimise and certify our solutions with dedicated AI hardware.
With NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA DGX, Canonical's open source solutions improve the performance of AI workflows, by using the hardware to its maximum extent and accelerating project delivery. Find out how Charmed Kubeflow can significantly speed up model training when coupled with DGX systems.
