Rethinking BYOD security: protecting data without trusting devices

May 13, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
BYOD (bring your own device) has always looked better on paper than it does in real life. The promise is clear: let people use the gadgets they already own. Less friction, lower costs, and more freedom. But when security and privacy are non-negotiable, the conversation around BYOD usually ends quickly. Not because BYOD is a bad idea, but because the model behind it doesn’t quite work. With BYOD, you’d be trying to secure something that isn’t meant to be trusted.

What Is a Linux Server? Everything You Need to Know (2026)

May 5, 2026 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
An open-source foundation for resilient infrastructure: on-prem, cloud, and hybrid. IT downtime costs organizations an average of $9,000 per minute, or more than $1 million per hour. That’s real money lost when websites crash, transactions fail, or internal systems go offline. For many organizations, avoiding those losses starts with choosing the right server operating system (OS). Why? The OS sets the foundation for how stable, secure, and cost-efficient your infrastructure will be.

How to use Ubuntu on Windows

May 4, 2026 By Rajan Patel In Canonical
Why run Ubuntu on Windows? It’s about getting the best of both worlds. Many organizations rely on Windows applications, enterprise software, and policy configurations; but for developers and system administrators, Ubuntu’s native command-line tools, package managers, and server environments are invaluable.

Understanding disaggregated GenAI model serving with llm-d

Apr 27, 2026 By Rob Gibbon In Canonical
llm-d is an open source solution for managing high-scale, high-performance Large Language Model (LLM) deployments. LLMs are at the heart of generative AI – so when you chat with ChatGPT or Gemini, you’re talking to an LLM. Simple LLM deployments – where an LLM is deployed to a single server – can suffer from latency issues, even with just one user. This can be because of lack of memory-bandwidth on the server, or because of KV cache pressure on system memory.
