PARSEC Resources for Ubuntu

Ubuntu LTS releases are everywhere — but once a release reaches end of standard support, staying secure means paying for Canonical’s Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM), or migrating. PARSEC offers a third option: full support, consulting, and system administration for every Ubuntu LTS, at a fraction of the cost.

PARSEC’s Extended Lifecycle Support is a lower-cost alternative to Ubuntu ESM — internally sourced security and stability patches that keep your older LTS releases secure without the Canonical subscription. And because we know our stuff across most major platforms, you can count on us for much more.

Why PARSEC for Ubuntu

A lower-cost alternative to Ubuntu ESM.

PARSEC supports every Ubuntu LTS release — current or past standard support — with Extended Lifecycle Support that costs a fraction of Canonical’s ESM.

LTS

Every Ubuntu LTS

PARSEC supports ALL Ubuntu LTS releases, 10.04 through 20.04 and beyond, no matter how old. No forced migrations, no upgrade deadlines — just expert support on the LTS you run today.

Lower-Cost Alternative to ESM

When an Ubuntu LTS reaches end of standard support, Canonical’s Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) keeps it patched — for a price. PARSEC’s Extended Lifecycle Support delivers the same peace of mind for far less, with full support included.

Non-Vendor Security Patches

PARSEC provides internally sourced replacement patches for critical CVEs where open-source code is available — including services like Secure Shell that can’t simply be disabled. Real fixes for older LTS releases.

We Build for Linux Too
