London, 26 July 2023: Canonical today announced the availability of Real-time Ubuntu optimised on Intel Core processors. The solution enables enterprises to harness the power of optimised Linux on Intel silicon for a wide range of use cases, from telco workloads to life-saving medical equipment, and automation systems for the factory floor.
“With the support of optimised Real-time Ubuntu on cutting-edge Intel silicon, enterprises can handle the most demanding workloads,” said Cindy Goldberg, VP of Silicon Alliances at Canonical. “Canonical’s collaboration with Intel allows us to provide a reliable and secure framework for developers and manufacturers, ensuring the longevity and success of their devices in the field.”
Addressing the growing need for real-time capabilities
As organisations navigate a software-defined transformation to the edge, they face the challenge of supporting real-time and best-effort workloads on the same system, driven by the need for flexibility, scalability, and changes in the workforce. Furthermore, enterprises across industries face the ever-increasing demand for real-time Linux to optimise operations, improve efficiency, and ensure mission-critical systems perform reliably. Canonical has collaborated with Intel to address those challenges head-on, bringing together their expertise and supporting stringent, deterministic workloads.
By optimising Ubuntu, the world’s most popular Linux OS, with Intel Core processors, Canonical provides a secure, performant and scalable solution. By bringing responsiveness to critical applications, enterprises running optimised Real-time Ubuntu on Intel SoCs will drive innovation, streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and achieve optimal productivity.
