Long-term supported FreeBSD and ZFS for government systems

LTS for FreeBSD keeps one release patched for at least five years, with offline update bundles for air-gapped networks and OpenZFS storage your team can audit.

LTS for FreeBSD

One FreeBSD release, patched for at least five years.

Backported security fixes without behavior changes, offline delivery for closed networks, and a documented path to the next release when you’re ready.

What public-sector teams bring us

Common public-sector infrastructure requirements

Public-sector platforms are accredited slowly, run for years and often never touch the internet.

Long accreditation cycles

Accrediting a platform can take longer than a standard FreeBSD release is supported, so you need one release that stays patched for years.

Air-gapped networks

Security fixes have to arrive as offline bundles on a known schedule, with a record of what changed.

Vendor independence

Open-source code your team can inspect, supported by engineers who contribute to FreeBSD and OpenZFS.

By use case

FreeBSD and ZFS solutions for the public sector

Secure & Compliant Storage

OpenZFS encryption, authenticated data and LTS for FreeBSD with offline update bundles. Built for accredited, air-gapped systems with long lifecycles.

Disaster Recovery

Replication, a written restoration plan and tested recovery for mission data. Restores run on a known timeline that you can document for review.

High-Performance / Large-Scale

OpenZFS and FreeBSD performance engineering for large storage and compute platforms. We profile under real load and fix limits in the source code when tuning isn’t enough.

Services public-sector teams use most

FreeBSD

LTS for FreeBSD

Quarterly rollups, offline bundles and a documented path to the next release. Accredited systems stay patched for years without requalifying on every new FreeBSD version.

FreeBSD

FreeBSD Platform Validation

Qualify your hardware and workloads on a known release. Accreditation starts from a tested, documented baseline instead of issues found mid-review.

Support

FreeBSD Infrastructure Support

Ongoing expert cover for production FreeBSD systems. When something breaks, your team works directly with FreeBSD engineers.

ZFS

ZFS Disaster Recovery

Replication, a written restoration plan and recovery drills. Mission data can be restored on a known timeline, with the plan documented for review.
