Last week we signed up a new client in the IT management space, Reductive Labs. While their company name may not be well known - yes, I’ve already suggested changing it ;> - their ruby-based, open source automation platform Puppet is actually very well regarded.

For example, Google uses puppet to manage over 5,000 laptops and desktops and they seem to like it. RedHat as well, along plenty more, both on the record and off.

As RedMonkTV fans may recall, I talked with the founder of Puppet last year while he, Luke Kanies, was in Austin for the InnoTech ‘07 conference:

And here’s Luke giving a talk on Puppet from BayLISA.

Not too long ago, Andrew Shafer joined Reductive Labs full-time, and as Luke mentioned recently, they’re Going For It with Puppet. This means that, yes, Reductive Labs is a company of two people: perhaps RedMonk’s smallest client. Our goal, as it is with all clients from 2 people to 100,000’s of people is to help them be successful, and it’ll be fun working with Luke Andrew.

Disclaimer: as mentioned, Reductive Labs is a client.
