Case Study: Stanford University achieves faster, more secure digital library deployment with Puppet

Stanford University manages 15 million digital assets with Puppet

Stanford University faced a challenge in its Digital Library team due to a disconnect between developers and system administrators, which made setting up new application servers expensive and slow. This friction in the deployment process was causing delays and frustration. To address this, they turned to the vendor Puppet and its automation solution, Puppet Enterprise.

Implementing Puppet provided automation and standardization, bridging the gap between development and operations. The solution resulted in faster, more secure deployments with greater consistency, significantly reducing both the time spent and the team's frustration. According to a team member, Puppet was a key investment in their DevOps practices, leading to stronger processes and increased job satisfaction.
