About Smartbit
Smartbit was founded in 2003 and is the creator of Smartschool, an online digital education platform used by 90 percent of Flemish-language schools in Belgium.
Challenge
Managing a growing, complex cloud infrastructure with a small IT team.
Solution
Puppet Enterprise enables the team to manage infrastructure as code; take advantage of DevOps practices; and efficiently monitor and manage its private cloud infrastructure.
Results
Smartbit is able to provide uninterrupted services to the majority of Belgian schools and scale efficiently as Smartschool is adopted in the rest of the country's education system.
Puppet rapidly became a mission-critical tool for the operations/DevOps team.
