Perforce Software, the DevOps company empowering global teams with AI innovation at scale, has released Puppet Edge, an extension for managing and securing network and edge devices. Available across Puppet Core, Puppet Enterprise, and Puppet Enterprise Advanced, this add-on addresses surging infrastructure complexity from edge computing, AI, and IoT adoption.
As enterprises embrace edge computing to fuel AI, IoT, and global digital experiences, unmanaged network and edge devices create significant vulnerabilities. Configuration drift, tool sprawl, and fragmentation inflate costs and hinder innovation, with 67% of enterprise networking activities still performed manually, leading to poor incident management and change performance. Puppet Edge counters these issues by extending policy-driven automation to distributed environments, ensuring consistent management without additional tools.
"With Puppet Edge, we're tackling the complexity and fragmentation that plague modern infrastructure," said Jake Hookom, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Perforce. "By extending our automation capabilities to network and edge devices, we're uniquely positioned to help teams eliminate manual processes, reduce configuration overhead, and close compliance gaps, enabling them to innovate faster without sacrificing governance or security."
Puppet Edge integrates seamlessly into the Puppet ecosystem, allowing infrastructure and network teams to apply configurations uniformly across all settings. This centralized approach reduces manual efforts and errors through orchestration, scaling effortlessly to thousands of nodes while maintaining governance. Unlike isolated point solutions, it unifies servers, cloud, network, and edge under one platform, minimizing risks from blind spots.
Adopting Puppet Edge yields tangible benefits for enterprises. It accelerates time-to-market by automating edge management and alleviating bottlenecks, while lowering costs via tool consolidation and streamlined workflows. Enhanced resilience and security stem from uniform policy enforcement, and prior investments remain protected through playbook reuse. Scalability across hybrid setups is achieved via a single control point, fostering innovation without added complexity.
Puppet's launch of Puppet Edge advances unified automation in hybrid infrastructure, enabling organizations to push boundaries in edge computing securely. By blending declarative and imperative models with AI insights, it minimizes risks and maximizes efficiency, positioning teams for sustained DevOps success in an AI-accelerated world.
Puppet Edge is available today as part of the Puppet Core and Puppet Enterprise platform portfolio.
