ScienceLogic and Puppet Labs Unite to Deliver Integrated Data Center Automation and Monitoring

RESTON, VA--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2013) - ScienceLogic, a provider of next generation IT monitoring software, today announced a full scale integration with Puppet Enterprise 3.0 from Puppet Labs, the leader in IT Automation. The integration will empower IT administrators to standardize, automate change, and manage policies, while simultaneously ensuring the performance and availability of their systems and Puppet Enterprise deployments. Seeing all Puppet Enterprise data within ScienceLogic's comprehensive view enables access to centralized information, real-time events, and integrated performance dashboards all in one place.

"Today, IT administrators are challenged to 'see' the impact of change in their data centers on the health, performance, and availability of their systems. In fact, 51 percent⁽¹⁾ of IT problems worldwide are caused by human error," said David Link, co-founder and CEO at ScienceLogic. "Standardization and improved IT best practices can reduce overall outage risk by up to 85 percent⁽²⁾ -- and that's just what our rich API integration with Puppet Labs aims to accomplish."

ScienceLogic software integrates the core IT monitoring functions needed to run today's complex, distributed computing infrastructures. True multi-tenancy, dynamic mapping of resources, and real-time dashboards are key components for success in the ever-changing world of IT. Built from the ground up, the ScienceLogic platform is an all in one product with one unified code base, user interface, and centralized data repository to make IT management easy.

Key benefits of the integration include:

• Intelligent discovery and visual display of all Puppet nodes and resources for ease of administration and monitoring
• True™ Multi-tenant views, enable service providers and enterprises to instantly deliver information to groups and individuals who need specific information the most
• Integrated real-time event generation and management enables IT administrators to see issues before end users are impacted
• Aligns Puppet node and facts inventory data with IT infrastructure for centralized asset management
• Comprehensive dashboards and views make it easy to see critical information needed to ensure business continuity

"This new partnership exemplifies what ScienceLogic focuses on each day -- displaying actionable and contextual data across the entire technology stack to make IT instant and intelligent," continued Link. "Integrating with a world-class solution like Puppet Labs gives our joint customers unparalleled control and insight into their infrastructure."

"The work that ScienceLogic is doing is a great contribution to our commercial ecosystem, highly complementary to Puppet Enterprise 3.0 and of great value to Puppet Enterprise customers, particularly those with larger distributed environments," said Mitch Sonies, VP Business & Corporate Development at Puppet Labs. "The strength of the Puppet Labs commercial ecosystem is a key differentiator for our customers and an important and growing contributor to our market leadership."
