PNY and Canonical join forces

PNY Technologies is collaborating with Canonical - the two companies have officially signed a distribution agreement, aiming to provide the best AI infrastructure solutions to organizations in the EMEA region.

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. Canonical’s accelerating solutions, based on Ubuntu, the preferred OS on most on-premise and cloud infrastructures for AI, are a great match with our support for NVIDIA products. Their infrastructure and AI/ML expertise with open source perfectly complements our value-added product portfolio.”

Mauro Papini, Alliance Manager at Canonical, said: “We are pleased to collaborate with PNY to expand the availability of open-source artificial intelligence to a wider customer base. We strongly believe that community-driven contributions will advance practical AI solutions, resulting in superior tools capable of addressing a wider range of enterprise challenges. Canonical will provide customers with enterprise-grade support, as well as the high level of security that they require, ensuring flexibility and independence in their AI implementations.”
