FedSoft leads the Linux Systems Engineering and Architecture team at the US Census Bureau. Partnered with Red Hat Inc. since 2011, our engineers provide systems and network engineering and systems administration services to our government customers. We consistently architect solutions in the complex Census Bureau environment that are scaleable, efficient, and responsible with government funds. As the on-site subject matter experts, we serve as Tier 4 escalation for the most difficult operational problems. We are called upon to engineer innovative technical solutions to solve demanding enterprise challenges related to Cloud Services, Performance Testing, Automating Server Provisioning, and Shared Enterprise Services through Software as a Service (SaaS) amongst many others.
The Census Bureau has an initiative to migrate from legacy operating systems and hardware over to Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on IBM Blades and VMWare Virtualization. FedSoft resources were requested by Red Hat and the Census Bureau to help lead the effort to migrate and re-architect legacy systems and hardware into the preferred architecture. As part of that effort, FedSoft has helped ensure the successful migration of 91% of the legacy virtualized systems into the new VMWare Environment.
In tandem with system migrations and architecture, FedSoft has been key in identifying and implementing a framework of standards and streamlined best practices for the Census Bureau. Our employees have been critical resources in redesigning the entire server build process, from gathering customer requirements, engineering solutions, server provisioning and configuration, all the way through customer validation and acceptance of the system. The FedSoft engineering team was tasked with identifying, standardizing, and automating common applications used at the Census Bureau. As a result of that effort, servers built with the standards put forth by FedSoft have realized build improvements of up to 87% faster over a comparable architecture from 2012.
FedSoft is proud of the work that we have done at the US Census Bureau as a partner with Red Hat, and excited to be in a position where we can contribute and serve our clients so effectively.
