FreeBSD Infrastructure Consulting

Expert consulting for deploying, managing, and hardening production FreeBSD infrastructure.

Harness the power of FreeBSD with guidance direct from the creator of BastilleBSD.

Robust, secure infrastructure is a competitive advantage. We help organizations put the stability, security, and performance of FreeBSD to work — whether you’re migrating from Linux, optimizing an existing deployment, or building a new secure platform from scratch. Every engagement is grounded in three principles: security-first design, operational efficiency, and solutions that scale.

What we do

Deployment

  • System architecture — resilient, high-performance FreeBSD environments designed around your workload.
  • Installation & configuration — base system, networking, and ZFS storage, tuned and hardened.
  • Migration — moving applications and data from Linux and other platforms to FreeBSD with minimal disruption.
  • Reproducible build pipelines — automated, versioned deployment for FreeBSD-specific applications.

Management

  • Performance optimization — find and eliminate bottlenecks so systems run at peak efficiency.
  • Operational best practices — monitoring, logging, and incident response that hold up under load.
  • Containerization with Bastille — application isolation and resource management done right.
  • Automation with Rocinante — consistent, GitOps-style configuration across your fleet.

Hardening

  • Security audits — thorough review of your FreeBSD environment to surface vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.
  • System hardening — attack-surface reduction, privilege separation, and secure configuration.
  • Firewall & network security — advanced pf configuration for perimeter defense and internal segmentation.
  • Compliance & governance — meeting regulatory requirements and codifying secure operational policy.

Why work with us

  • Direct expertise. You work with the creator of BastilleBSD and a recognized authority in FreeBSD security and containerization — not a layer of account managers.
  • Production-tested methods. Strategies proven in real, mission-critical deployments.
  • Tailored, not templated. Solutions built to integrate with your existing team and systems.
  • Open by default. Open standards and open-source technology — no vendor lock-in.
