With five of the ten biggest banks on the Wall Street and more than a hundred financial institutions already registered as users of their free open source solution, Cfengine is an automation favorite in the financial industry. Cfengine is the leading vendor of open source configuration management solutions, used by the all major industries to keep datacenters running. The company was founded by Chief Science and Technology Officer, Professor Mark Burgess, who came up with a completely new way to manage servers.
"This is clearly a commercial break-through for the company and a huge endorsement by the financial sector", said Thomas Ryd, CEO of Cfengine.
