Puppet Labs was established in 2005, though the ideas and vision behind the company go back far further. CEO, Luke Kanies, is the original author of Puppet, and has done professional consulting around Puppet since 2003.

Puppet Labs is advised by Kevin Compton (former Partner at Kleiner Perkins), Glenn Winokur (Former COO of NetIQ), Mike Abbott (Vice President of Engineering at Twitter), John Robb (Vice President of Sales at Zimbra), Dave Rosenberg (Former Founder and CEO of MuleSource), and Bill Keyworth (of GoToMarket.com). Puppet is a model-driven open source framework designed to efficiently manage data center infrastructure. It`s the Sys Admin`s best friend, reducing error counts and downtime, saving countless hours and providing significantly higher service quality. Puppet lets Sys Admins spend less time on mundane tasks and instead focus on managing their infrastructure as a whole.

Better IT systems require better tools and better processes. Reductive Labs enables IT organizations to provide more consistency, more flexibility, more predictability and more transparency while lowering the cost of service with an open source framework.
