          Canonical's first investment in hyperscale dates back to 2008. We invested early in at scale management tools like Landscape and Juju, supporting the management of machines and services at scale through enterprise-class automation.
        </p>
        <p>
          Canonical is also a pioneer with ARM Servers, building the first commercial general-purpose ARM Linux OS in 2007 and the first ARM-based Server OS in 2009. We founded Linaro along with ARM in 2010.
        </p>
        <p>
          Ubuntu now runs on every significant ARM platform deployed in the datacentre, including the recently-announced Baidu storage cluster.

            </p>
            <p>
              Juju decouples services deployed onto the cluster from the nodes running them, and makes the deployment of the individual service easy.
            </p>
            <p>
              Juju also supports deployment to cloud services like Amazon EC2 and Rackspace Cloud, and includes charms for open source workloads and key server ISV products.
