The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) is now the seventh customer to implement the OpenFox® Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for their OpenFox® Message Switch environment. NCMEC has moved its OpenFox® system source data from the system’s previous location in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to the Computer Projects of Illinois, Inc. (CPI) Tier-III+ Data Center located in Bolingbrook, IL.
The deliverable components of this project included the following:
- Upgraded NCMEC’s core OpenFox® system software to the latest version(s)
- Built a SaaS system in CPI’s Tier III+ Data Center to house the NCMEC Message Switch
- Converted the OpenFox data, software, and configurations to CPI SaaS architecture
- Converted from SUSE to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Established connections from the SaaS solution to the NCMEC communications endpoints for test and validation of the conversion
- Worked with Agency to make necessary networking changes to establish communication to the SaaS solution
- Performed System Integration Testing (SIT) of the OpenFox applications
