LSD Information Technology, a leader in providing IT consulting and IT infrastructure based on open source software for the southern African market, and Puppet Labs, a global leader in IT automation software for system administrators, have officially announced their partnership agreement. This partnership has matured over the past year, and is gaining popularity on a monthly basis. It enables LSD to provide Puppet Enterprise expertise to the African market.
Puppet Enterprise provides a configuration management solution to manage servers and hypervisors. The solution enables system administrators to define the desired state of their infrastructure, and then automatically enforce that state. Puppet Enterprise offers a powerful and flexible solution for creating IT compliance modules that are tailored to your environment and the specific regulations you must adhere to.
Puppet Enterprise provides IT automation software that helps system administrators manage infrastructure throughout its life cycle, including discovery, provisioning, operating system and application configuration management, orchestration and reporting. With Puppet Enterprise, you can easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy critical applications, and proactively manage change, scaling from tens of servers, to thousands, on premises or in the cloud.
"LSD is excited to add Puppet to our solution offering as the leading open source provider of IT automation software. Coupled with its open source base, enterprise-grade support and subscription, it is the exact fit within LSD's data centre management offering," says Sven Lesicnik, Managing Director, LSD Information Technology.
"LSD has partnered with Puppet Labs to provide its customers with an enterprise solution in addressing complex configuration management within ever-growing IT environments," adds Stefan Lesicnik, Technical Director, LSD Information Technology.
"We're pleased to partner with LSD Information Technology to engage with our customers in South Africa," said Mitch Sonies, Vice-President of Business Development at Puppet Labs. "We're excited that our joint partnership will make Puppet Labs' products and services - including our training courses - officially available to the African market."
The partnership is part of a larger strategy of LSD to offer solutions and market enablement of cloud strategies. LSD also offers Puppet Labs training courses customised and tailored to address the changing requirements of the domestic market.
