PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 01/23/13 -- Puppet Labs, a leading provider of IT automation software for system administrators, today announced that VMware, Inc. has invested $30 million in the company. Coincident with the funding, the companies agreed to a strategic partnership for delivering IT management solutions that will enable customers to fully realize the agility and productivity benefits of virtualization and cloud in heterogeneous, multi-vendor IT environments. Through the funding and partnership, Puppet Labs will be able to accelerate the development of its award-winning products, increase market adoption in new geographies, and work jointly with VMware to deliver, market and sell solutions.
"Puppet Labs is at the forefront of IT automation, and is a catalyst in the DevOps movement -- accelerating service delivery and business agility," said Ramin Sayar, Vice President and General Manager, Virtualization & Cloud Management, VMware. "This strategic investment and partnership will further accelerate the software-defined data center, and will allow a more extensive automation and orchestration solution across infrastructure and application elements for VMware-based private and public clouds, physical infrastructures, OpenStack and Amazon Web Services."
Virtualization and cloud computing promise enterprise IT organizations step-function improvements in agility and productivity. However, legacy IT systems management vendors have been unable to fully unlock this potential, as their solutions were conceived before DevOps and the cloud. In contrast, Puppet Labs' declarative, model-based approach provides IT operations the tools they need to manage at the rate and scale of the cloud. As a result, Puppet Labs is seeing accelerating market demand.
Industry analysts recognize the disruptive impact virtualization and cloud are having on the IT management sector as well, particularly regarding deployment cycle expectations. According to Gartner, "The desire to speed up the introduction of software updates into production is stimulating interest in tools that can automate the build, test and release life cycle," in the April 19th "Cool Vendors in DevOps, 2012" research, authored by Ronni Colville, et al.
Customers today are already finding benefit in the interoperability of the VMware and Puppet Labs products. For example, Puppet Enterprise, Puppet Labs' flagship commercial product, enables system administrators to automatically and dynamically provision, configure, and manage virtual machines, taking advantage of the VMware vSphere® API. Customers use the integration of VMware vFabric Application Director with Puppet Enterprise for dynamically provisioning private cloud services, leveraging the more than 750 ready-to-run application configuration modules available on Puppet Forge, Puppet Labs' online content marketplace. As part of the strategic partnership, going forward VMware and Puppet Labs will collaborate on additional product integrations, including VMware vCloud® Automation Center, VMware vCenter Operations Manager, and VMware vCenter Configuration Manager.
"Both Puppet Labs and VMware are key technology partners in implementing a DevOps approach to application delivery," said Mark Schena, Systems Automation Manager at Constant Contact, a leading provider of online marketing services to more than 500,000 small businesses. "We look forward to seeing the benefits of tighter product integration between them."
"VMware's leadership in virtualization and cloud computing is changing the landscape of IT," said Luke Kanies, founder and CEO of Puppet Labs. "With this funding and strategic partnership, Puppet Labs and VMware will together enable IT customers to move faster, at greater scale, within diverse IT environments."

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Professor Matt Fraidin published a new column in The Huffington Post arguing that homeless families should be allowed to reside in housing units available at the D.C. General Hospital emergency family shelter.
Prof. Fraidin says, "Instead of letting children live under a safe roof, the Administration
lets them roam with their parents to bus stations, heating grates and
park benches. The city promotes foster care as an alternative to
shelter, and forces mothers to provide sexual favors to protect their
children from these unnecessary hazards and horrors."

Charlotte Police Officer Accused Of Taking Pictures Of Young Girls In Undergarments
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer is accused of secretly taking pictures of juvenile girls that captured parts of their underwear as they participated in the department's high school academy.
Officer Thomas E. Allen is charged with four counts of secretly using a photographic imaging device to view another's body or undergarments and four counts of possessing photographic images in violation of the peeping statute.
Police say the charges stemmed from an investigation that began last October. Authorities found that Allen took four pictures of juvenile girls during CMPD High School Academy events in 2011 and 2013.
Police spokesman Robert Tufano said Allen took photos through the victims clothing during physical training. Tufano didn't say what kind of device was used.
Allen was hired in March 1996. He's been recommended for dismissal.
Tufano said 11 detectives have been assigned to the case, and they have reviewed several thousand photographs that were found on Allen's home and work computers. The detectives have also processed the computers, and Tufano said there has been no evidence of child pornography.
Tufano also said detectives are working to interview the approximately 700 people who participated in youth programs that Allen was associated with. He said detectives have attempted to contact more than 400 of those people and have formally interviewed nearly 180 to determine if any inappropriate contact occurred while Allen was with the department.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police has a dedicated phone line for people to call if they have additional information in the case.

HuffPo goes UK: But shills and pols writing for free isn't new
So HuffPo UK has launched and, my word, it is the future of journalism, isn't it? New, fresh faces telling us about the world in new and interesting ways... Online, centre left, news and views galore: sounds like the Guardian's Comment is Free really, doesn't it? Which is something the Guardian themselves might agree with, you …
Just like talk shows
You know that every "guest" who appears is pushing some agenda. They've got a book out, they are starring in a new TV series, they are trying to get back after a scandal/child/dry period, or have a new business venture they NEED to tell everybody about. We're prepared to put up with the endless and thinly veiled promotions provided they entertain us.
Maybe a better question to ask about the Puffington would be: who's willing to pay to READ it?
presumably they're cheaper
They want to get their face on the screen to push the product, TV execs want them on the screen to pull in viewers.
Pehaps they are prepared to take a reduced appearance fee - though if they are all at it what is the usual fee?
BBC can usually be relied upon for something: £50 if you're on the radio sort of thing.
Commercial TV often doesn't pay: CNN won't even cover a tube ticket let along a taxi to get to the studio. Sky might pay £50 for doing the newspaper review (which is a proper piece of work, not just a talking heads section).
A couple of years back Press TV paid better than most. But that was because they had such a hard time getting guests....
...It all becomes clear
Bit of a coincidence that the biggest story of the year breaks at exactly the time the UK Huff launches, eh?
To be more serious for a moment, they probably can't believe their luck at the timing of it all.
What about the symmetry?
Your excellent article on how few of the "contributors" got paid misses the symmetry, the content is pure advertising and also fails the test "would any reader actually pay for the publication". This is the delightful symmetry of pollution like the Guffington Post, just like sewerage, nobody would pay to receive it and nobody is paid to create it (ignoring Endemol productions of course).
I'd rather we kept the bandwidth for porn than this useless crap.
Isn't this the site that screwed over all it's regular writers?
when it sold out to AOL???
I'm amazed it's still going.
"Roy Greenslade writes for a living and yes, he would be paid elsewhere in print"
Yes, he is, but when you read his musings you really do wonder why...
"no, not being sarky, just realistic"
As if these are exclusive in any way... He meant "Yes, yes being sarky, and realistic".
Other reasons not to read HuffPo UK...
Well I tried HuffPo UK on launch day. The payment or otherwise of contributors is besides the point. The format of the site just looks so dreadful - so obviously an American service. Reading it talking about British news felt just wrong. It's as if USA Today tried to launch "UK Today" but keep the writing style and format. The style (just) works for American news, but simply fails over here.
(Several below-the-line contributors to the Guardian's discussion of the launch said something similar to this, so I'm not wholly alone.)
Do you need us to buy you a pint?
No, but always up for a pint.
Do you deliver to Portugal?
I've said it before ...
... and I'll say it again: Journalism died with Herb Caen and Stanton Delaplane.
Re: I've said it before ...
Who and who?
First time I've ever seen names quoted as if they should be famous when I have never even heard or seen the names used anywhere before!
I'm terribly sorry for your lack of education.
Do you know why you should understand how to vote?
San Francisco - yes, UK - no
If TeeCee lived in SanFrancisco this comment might be applicable. Sure, they were Pulitzer Prize winners but how relevant is that and their near rabid focus on San Francisco life of any relevance to a UK audience? Your pomposity is undeserved.....
You don't get it, either, do you? It ain't about home-base, it's about expressing yourself in print.
Besides, Stan hardly focused on San Francisco ... any more than "Pat Novak for Hire" was actually about San Francisco's waterfront.
"She drifted into the room, like 98 pounds of warm smoke ... "
Home-base - or B&Q? Or is this too parochially British....?
Oh, but it is about 'home-base' if you denigrate someone's lack of education for never having heard of someone that there is no reason at all for them to have encountered. I could reel off countless examples of people, companies, places and so on that most people in the UK would know instantly. Would that make you uneducated for not knowing who the hell I was talking about?
Try me.
Exceptions: Boy/Girl flash-in-the-pan "entertainer" o't'day, including "page 3 girls", footballers and their wives, and the like.
Hint: I don't frequent "big box stores" like Home Depot (or Block & Quayle).
i'n't th'Interweb lovely.....
Yay, congratulation on your stunning use of Wikipedia.....
I rarely use Wikipedia, and didn't in this case.
Projection can be an ugly thing ...
HuffPo - Home of Woo
The US version of the Huffington Post is the home of all sorts of alternative medicine stories, most reported credulously and some of them downright dangerous. One example is their pushing of the anti-vaccination agenda. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens here, and who will be prepared to write for it.
