Adoption of the Linux operating system and open source software continues at an amazing pace, as businesses, governments, and individuals realize its potential as a fast, reliable, and secure platform, unfettered by potentially restrictive licensing issues.

The Manisec team brings a total of over 40 years experience with Linux! We have experience implementing Unix projects such as programming (in C, C++, perl, assembly, and shell), system installation, configuration, administration, security hardening, and deployment for clients in banking, medical, wholesale, retail, technology, non-profit, government, and military sectors.

Manisec can provide your project with the advantage of world-class Linux and Unix practitioners. Below are listed some areas of expertise. If you don't see what you need, please contact us with a brief description of your needs, so we can further discuss what value the Manisec Corporation can bring to your organization.

Manisec personnel have significant experience in engineering Linux solutions. From the design and implementation of single systems to large clusters to entire heterogenous networks. So whether your needs revolve around custom designing a single system to perform a critical task or constructing a large network of systems in which Linux needs to interoperate with other platforms and systems, Manisec can enhance your efforts and your end results.

Deploying and maintaining large numbers of Linux systems can be a complicated and arduous task. Traditional methods such as RedHat's 'kickstart' installations are problematic, time consuming, and complicated to setup and maintain. By their nature, they do not scale well when deploying customized configurations and software packages.

ManISec has solved this. Our Linux deployment system can install and configure thousands of completely customized Linux servers per day, leaving only shipping and hardware installation to complete a full deployment project. This Linux Deployment system can render and maintain these systems regardless of their remoteness via master servers that can image and replicate or 'mirror' anything fromsingle applications to complete filesystems across multiple systems or entire networks with ease.

This deployment mechanism not only streamlines maintenance programs, but it promotes a greatly enhanced security model. For instance, a new vulnerability to an application or network service surfaces and the risk to your environment is high within hours. A 'fix' or solution is acquired and tested. Once the solution is validated, deployment of the solution facilitates in minutes to every system maintained in your deployment model. Basic tasks like simple password change management policies, a standard security procedure often left untended, is performed quickly via Linux Deployment. Package or application management becomes a simple and secure process.

If you are looking to install and maintain Linux platforms on a medium to large scale, this is an important solution.

From installing new software to building custom kernels to hardening an installation, Manisec is your partner in making sure that your systems are working with you toward your business goals. Besides providing basic functionality, our assistance in this area often leads to increased security, performance, or both.
