According to ODCN
- ''Fairbanks is the company which provides us with up-to-date knowledge in the case our own experts can’t find a solution. They have a strong believe in working together and starting conversations with the teams, rather than telling us how things are done.''
- ''Especially in the highly critical governmental datacenters that we are running, this cooperation is needed to get to the next step of growth in customers and features.''.
- ''Having Fairbanks and 42on as support organizations gives us the self confidence to run open source cloud infrastructure like you would any other cloud infrastructure, with the benefits of staying independent, being in control of technology and free of technologically advancements.''
