LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/15 -- Puppet Labs, the leading provider of IT automation software, today announced it is collaborating with EMC Corporation to bring DevOps tools and practices to enterprises around the globe so customers can move more quickly and with confidence. Puppet Enterprise, the de facto standard for managing infrastructure as code, is now available as an extension of the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution. In addition to the product integrations, EMC and Puppet Labs are teaming up to launch a DevOps Readiness program that is purpose built to help customers progress along their journey to adopting DevOps and hybrid clouds so they can iterate more quickly, deploy new software faster and win in the marketplace. Newly recognized as a Select partner in the EMC Business Partner Program, for Technology Connect, Puppet Enterprise is available for resale through EMC.

According to the Puppet Labs 2014 State of DevOps Report, IT performance and well-known DevOps practices are predictive of overall business performance:

"While most organizations realize that improving IT performance is critical to long-term success, until now, it has been unclear which investments truly move the needle. Our findings suggest that high IT performance provides a real competitive advantage, with hints that it plays a role in boosting the value of publicly traded companies, as measured by market capitalization."

Puppet Enterprise is the de facto standard for managing infrastructure as code, a prerequisite for DevOps-like agility, where code can be tested, reused, and deployed across environments. Now, EMC customers can rely on Puppet Enterprise to help make rapid, repeatable changes and automatically enforce the consistency of hybrid clouds -- across traditional and next-generation cloud apps.

"My goal when I started Puppet Labs was to make it possible for all organizations to quickly adopt the best technology available, so IT could act as a business accelerant," said Luke Kanies, founder and CEO of Puppet Labs. "By collaborating with EMC, Puppet Enterprise can reach even more organizations around the globe, so they can move faster than ever. Now, businesses can keep up with the pace of technological change and use it as a competitive advantage."

Today's announcement includes EMC and Puppet Labs collaborating on:

• Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud - An integrated package of services, software and hardware, the Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, comprised of technologies from EMC, Pivotal and VMware, delivers a rigorously tested, fully engineered hybrid cloud solution. Through its collaboration with Puppet Labs, EMC is now offering Puppet Enterprise as an extension to its core offering. As a result, organizations can use Puppet Enterprise to automate change regardless where the workload is placed in their Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud -- vCloud Air® and other public clouds, or their own on-premises data centers -- giving EMC customers greater agility and choice when delivering applications to users.
• DevOps Readiness Program - Now that EMC customers can manage their infrastructure as code using Puppet Enterprise and Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, they can start to incorporate other DevOps best practices. To help EMC customers along this path the EMC DevOps Readiness program will provide customers with the training and guidance they need to implement the practices that can create true competitive advantages.
• EMC Select Partner - EMC Technology Connect is a resource that makes it easier for EMC customers to buy pre-tested, third-party 'solution completers' alongside of EMC hardware, software or services. Now that Puppet Labs is a Select partner in the EMC Technology Connect, EMC customers worldwide can purchase the leading IT automation solution for managing infrastructure-as-code directly from EMC and EMC resellers.

"Enterprise IT continues to be under massive pressure to deliver applications faster without sacrificing reliability," says Peter Cutts, Vice President, Cloud Solutions, EMC Corporation. "Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud helps IT deliver applications more reliably and faster than ever. With this partnership, Puppet Enterprise brings DevOps practices -- like treating infrastructure as code -- to our joint customers' hybrid clouds. The result is that our customers can get even more reusable, repeatable and consistent automation to help them accelerate application delivery with greater agility -- regardless if those apps run on prem or in the cloud."

Availability
Puppet Enterprise integrations with Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud are fully supported and available today. Puppet Enterprise will be available for purchase through EMC Select in Summer 2015.
