Open Source Infrastructure and its optimization

Open source infrastructure

The effectiveness of your information system is linked to the system and network infrastructure on which it rests: our mission is to support you in the optimization of the infrastructure while reducing costs.

For this, we recommend open source tools, and many now mature enough to cover each layer of a software infrastructure. For simplicity, we group the different types of solutions into four families:

• Monitoring performance:

Infrastructure supervision and monitoring of website

• Infrastructure Optimization:

Performance testing and tuning, virtualization software and appliances

• Access Management:

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI, PKI, PKI), LDAP and SSO (Single Sign On)

• Migrating to open source:

Re-packaging of Linux distribution, messaging, office suites and groupware.

To implement your solution, our services range from analysis and consulting to implementation and training of your teams. If you want to make yourself this solution, we can assist you in project management, or provide you with our expert engineers for support during all phases of your project.

Monitoring performance: infrastructure supervision and monitoring of website

You want to control the evolution in time of performance of your system and network infrastructure: we advocate the implementation of Nagios, a monitoring solution that references in the open source universe. From project conception to the use of the interface through the installation of "probes", we help you control in a simple and efficient the operation of your infrastructure.

To measure the availability of your website, there are many monitoring solutions.

Infrastructure Optimization: Performance testing and tuning, virtualization and software appliances

To optimize the dimensioning of individual bricks of your infrastructure (database, application server, file system...) or to anticipate their scalability, we carry with you a series of performance tests (under load, maximum capacity, response to stress...). You can now find the fine tuning of your infrastructure and adapt it over to your needs.

Optimizing your infrastructure password also and especially by the virtualization, which simulates, in a physical server, the existence of several partitioned servers and shared. This will reduce your equipment costs and maintenance, while enhancing manageability and security of your server farm. A proven practice and promising future, which becomes all the more interesting open source tools such as mature and powerful Xen release CIOs of some budgetary and technical constraints.

Beyond their intrinsic benefits (no license fees, scalability, adaptability...) the open source virtualization solutions facilitate the creation of software appliances (or "application packages"), will revolutionize the administration system. Indeed, by associating with each application a complete and stable base (OS, DBMS, system tools, framework, portal, etc...), Management and software compatibility between each application environment is immediately solved!

Access Management: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), LDAP and SSO (Single Sign On)

Type solutions PKI allow you to secure your electronic relationships by guaranteeing confidentiality, authentication, integrity and non-repudiation, whether through signing certificates (e-mail or web access) or encryption (encryption keypair).

Securing identity management, we facilitate the development of transactional activities, whether external (contractual and commercial) or internal (staff accountability). We can especially help you implement Open SSL, a reliable and reputable in this field.

To complete the improvement of access management within your infrastructure, LDAP is the reference solution to centrally manage the attributes (characteristics and privileges) of all your users, with a tool such as Open LDAP, the various components of your information system using a single user base.

As for the solutions of SSO (Single Sign On), they enhance the usability of your entire application front end, preventing your users from having to login several times - an initial identification of attributing automatically and transparently authorizations subsequent access. We master the tool including CAS, whose quality and legitimacy are recognized.

Software front end: re-packaging of Linux distribution, messaging and groupware...

While open source has developed on software layers deep or reserved for technicians, it is now natural to equip the user computer with free software. Indeed, at comparable functional scope, budget and technical advantages make the difference and difficulties are reduced essentially to user training.

That is why we integrate our systems and networks offer benefits consulting migration to software "users" from the world of open source.
