Canonical, the corporate sponsors of Ubuntu, announced today its partnership with Dell to offer Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) on Dell PowerEdge C2100 and C6100 servers that will ship with tested reference architectures, guides, and support from experts at Dell and Canonical.

"The standard edition released today allows software developers and IT organizations to run cloud proof-of-concept programs by providing an optimized, pre-configured testing and development environment", says Canonical in the announcement today. "Workloads can easily be shared with external providers for capacity growth due to Ubuntu’s open-source implementation of the de facto cloud-computing standard provided by Amazon Web Services."
