We'll migrate our directory service from openldap to fedora/redhat directory service, the ldap server is considered almost the back-end for everything on our hosted IT services.

we are running openldap-2.0.27 which have many deprecated service. it's six year old . we have almost 500,000 entry.

We have benchmarked our staging setup with ixia, it gave very positive results, we were able to authenticate (bind) 1800,000 and having 22000 write/modify operation in just 2 minutes with no impact on the service. Actually the setup isn't just one server they are five servers; with two hardware load balancers, still it's awesome software to rely on.

The migration will be tomorrow, I feel confident about the software that we are going to use. it's very exciting.
