Skyguide provides air navigation services for Switzerland and adjacent airspace in France, Germany, Italy, and Austria. It has 1,500 employees and safely guides 1.2 million civil and military flights a year through one of Europe's most complex airspaces.
Challenge
Reduce the cost of IT maintenance while improving efficiency as new capabilities are released to support high safety requirements. Skyguide needed a solution to automate deployment and configuration of its air-traffic management system (ATM) in various environments (training/simulation, test, production).
Solution
Using Puppet Enterprise, Skyguide will set up a continuous delivery pipeline through all environments with automated deployment and configuration of its ATM system.
Results
Ability to use the same solution between air traffic operation and training systems
Reduced risk of failure in the configuration of training scenarios and simulations
Lower cost and easier maintenance than using in-house tools
Faster and simpler automated configuration management
Puppet is a key enabler in helping us realize the vision that all things will and must be automated to deliver at the velocity of our business.
Top outcomes of using Puppet Enterprise
Simplified management of up to 600 hosts
Improved system stability, preventing interruptions to ATC training
Streamlined deployments between operations and training
