Red Hat & AWS Partner · Est. 1998 · Rockville, MD
We don't do projects—we architect infrastructure evolution across technology generations. Red Hat and AWS certified partners for long-term federal and enterprise engagements. Relationships measured in decades, not quarters.
DS Solutions architects solutions for complex enterprise environments where multiple vendors, legacy systems, and modern platforms need to work together seamlessly. Founded in 1998, we've spent nearly three decades solving the integration challenges that single-vendor consultants avoid—architecting infrastructure evolution without breaking anything.
As a certified Red Hat and AWS partner, we deliver multi-vendor solution architecture built for the long term. Our 15-year strategic partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and engagements with federal agencies prove we're not project-based consultants who parachute in and leave. We architect infrastructure evolution across technology generations, staying engaged as platforms modernize and requirements change.
Our solution architects and engineers solve the problems most consultants avoid: complex migrations with zero downtime tolerance, heterogeneous environments spanning multiple vendors, and infrastructure that must evolve over years without breaking. We architect what works. We stay until it does.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux. AWS cloud platforms. VMware virtualization. Container platforms. We architect solutions that unify heterogeneous environments—the complex integrations that single-vendor consultants can't or won't touch.
15-year strategic partnership with the Smithsonian Institution. Federal agency engagements with DoD, VA, and DOJ. We don't do short-term projects—we architect infrastructure evolution across technology generations, staying engaged as platforms modernize and requirements change.
Complex infrastructure evolution with zero tolerance for failure. Legacy to cloud. Physical to virtual. Monolith to containerized. VMware to OpenShift. The migrations that keep CTOs up at night—that's our specialty.
30 years of solution architecture experience spanning federal agencies, enterprise infrastructure, and complex multi-vendor environments. Principal architect on the 15-year Smithsonian Institution engagement. Red Hat and AWS certified. Deep expertise in Linux systems architecture, infrastructure modernization, and federal compliance frameworks. Founded Developing Solutionz in 1998 to provide vendor-independent strategic architecture for organizations where downtime isn't acceptable and complexity is the norm.
We design your infrastructure evolution—then we build it—then we stay. Strategy, execution, and long-term partnership from the same team.
Multi-year infrastructure evolution strategies. Technology selection and vendor evaluation. Migration planning for complex multi-vendor environments. Security and compliance architecture (HIPAA, SOX, NIST, federal mandates). Integration design across Red Hat, AWS, VMware, and legacy systems. Strategic guidance that accounts for where you are, where you need to be, and how to get there without breaking anything.
We execute the architectures we design. Cloud migrations to Red Hat and AWS platforms. Data center infrastructure modernization—servers, storage, virtualization. Application containerization on OpenShift and Kubernetes. DevOps automation with Ansible and infrastructure-as-code. Security implementation and penetration testing. From strategic planning through deployment and ongoing optimization.
We don't disappear after go-live. The Smithsonian Institution has trusted us for 15 years—spanning three technology generations. Federal agencies engage us across platform evolutions: DoD, VA, DOJ. We architect for generational change because we're there for it. Ongoing architecture guidance, platform updates, strategic technology direction. This isn't a project. It's a partnership.
Infrastructure audit, stakeholder interviews, technology evaluation, architectural analysis. We understand where you are before planning where you need to be.
Multi-year evolution plan, technology selection, migration strategy, risk assessment. Architecture that accounts for business requirements and technical realities.
Iterative deployment, minimal disruption, continuous optimization, knowledge transfer. We build in phases that maintain operational continuity.
Infrastructure doesn't stand still—neither do we.
Strategic architecture partnership spanning three technology generations
In 2010, the Smithsonian Institution needed a strategic architecture partner—not a vendor. Someone who could navigate their complex multi-site infrastructure, legacy collections systems, and federal compliance requirements. Someone who would stay engaged as technology evolved. We've been their solution architecture partner for fifteen years.
OS migrations across distributed museums. Ansible Automation Platform implementation. AWS disaster recovery architecture. Identity management modernization. CIS security baseline compliance. Storage infrastructure transitions. VMware to OpenShift container platform migrations. Every project architected for long-term evolution, not short-term fixes.
Fifteen years. Three technology generations. Zero disruptions to public-facing operations. This is what strategic partnership looks like.
Federal cloud modernization and infrastructure architecture.
DevOps and enterprise infrastructure consulting.
Financial sector cloud modernization architecture.
They could have re-competed every 2-3 years. They didn't. Strategic architecture relationships take years to build and deliver compounding value over time. Fifteen years with one of the nation's most demanding institutions proves we build partnerships that last.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux. AWS cloud platforms. VMware virtualization. Container platforms. Legacy systems. We architect solutions that unify heterogeneous environments—the complex integrations that single-vendor consultants can't or won't touch.
Our architects design your infrastructure evolution roadmap—then lead implementation. From strategic planning through deployment and ongoing optimization. No handoffs between strategy and execution. No gaps. One team owns the outcome.
Or send us details about your infrastructure challenges, technology roadmap, and partnership needs. We'll respond within 24 hours to schedule a 30-minute architecture consultation with a senior solution architect.
