Freedom's practical approach is to measure server loads and capacity utilization across various elements of the IT infrastructure by function, location and environment. Freedom OSS helps customers to establish ongoing capacity planning practices through monitoring of resource utilization by anomaly detection and alerts based on benchmarked thresholds. Freedom OSS was successful in generating recommendations to ensure ongoing capacity optimization across various verticals such as government, financial, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and others.
Virtualizaton
Freedom OSS specializes in virtualized operating systems, storage, and management to help businesses significantly reduce the cost of providing IT services and increase the quality of services offered. Freedom's system architects are experienced in setting up virtualization capabilities by considering factors such as server utilization, server consolidation, application failover, application isolation, memory, network, storage, security, and more. With Red Hat Virtualization platform Freedom can help companies to achieve substantial cost savings,efficiencies and scalability through:
Server consolidation
Consolidate the load of several lightly loaded servers onto one.
Hardware abstraction
Deploying an older operating system and applications on new hardware is easy.
Resource management and high availability
Move guest instances between systems. Give workloads to be to the most appropriate system. Have continued operation during maintenance periods. Consistent virtualized server environment makes the deployment of disaster tolerant configurations simpler, practical, and trustworthy.
Application isolation
Encapsulate an application together into a single entity with its operating system, performance and configuration parameters, and security environment. Tightly control and manage your applications, immune from other changes in the IT environment.
Storage Management
Freedom OSS specializes in implementing highly available storage access needs using Redhat's GFS for mission critical services ranging from cluster databases to application shared data. Utilizing Redhat's GFS, Freedom OSS maximizes customer's application uptime by implementing application cluster strategies using the DLM, Redhat cluster manager and leveraging hardware fencing devices.
SE Linux Implementation
Freedom OSS specializes in deploying Redhat's Enterprise Linux with SELinux style features, which supports NSA security features, such as, mandatory access control (MAC) to define clean separation of policies for files, directories, sockets and open file descriptors. Freedom OSS has extensive experience in security vulnerability assessments for customers in various verticals such as government, financial, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and others.
Security Implementation
Freedom OSS specializes in implementing application level and operating system level security using Redhat's Directory Server to federate best-of-breed security standards. Using Redhat's Directory Server, Freedom OSS has implemented mission critical security infrastructure to support Single Sign-On, SAML, XACML and identity profiles. Freedom's expertise in Redhat's Directory deployment achieves the highest availability using multi-master and slave LDAP deployment topologies for hundreds of concurrent transactions. At Freedom OSS our architects are highly experienced in defining practical Identity Management & Single Sign-On solutions across various verticals such as government, financial, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and others.
