Case Study: International Securities Exchange achieves faster deployments, unified cross‑platform operations and accelerated release cadence with Puppet Enterprise

Key Learnings from ISE's Deployment of Puppet Enterprise

The International Securities Exchange (ISE), a leading U.S. options exchange processing over 2.5 million contracts per day, completed the first phase of a deliberate Puppet Enterprise deployment to modernize its infrastructure. ISE faced siloed Linux and Windows teams, slow operational processes and infrequent software releases, prompting a move to a unified, automated configuration-management approach.

By "puppetizing" its environment with Puppet Enterprise, ISE gained cross‑platform management that collapsed team silos, reduced operational overhead and sped up version deployments. The implementation increased software release cadence from two to five times per year and set the organization on a path toward DevOps through faster, more reliable application deployments.
