It feels like the end of an era, doesn’t it? Many innovative IdM companies have merged into larger—and sometimes slower moving—entities. We’ve seen the eclipse of Sun and even Burton is now part of a bigger group. And while some make the case for GRC, governance and compliance alone won’t put us back on a path of strong economic growth.

These are exciting times. Even with all today’s uncertainty, we can celebrate the rise of these key innovations:
- From the data center to the cloud, virtualization is making a positive and productive difference across the IT infrastructure.
- Whether it’s for our business or personal selves, social networking is becoming an indispensible part of our lives.
Now, we’ve been advocates of virtualization since we began—in fact, it’s why we’re in business. But what does virtualization have to do with social networking? In a word—everything.

With the market in turmoil and the economy slowly recovering, enterprise IT has been on the defensive, focused on retrenchment instead of re-engagement. Within the field of IAM and security, this has meant a heavy focus on GRC (governance, compliance, and regulation).
But sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. We have to fight the FUD and build better solutions to address the needs of our customers. While GRC is important, identity initiatives built solely around regulating internal users deliver only part of the value of Identity and Access Management—If we want to see profitability and growth again, we have to think, innovate, and act.

At RSA, we announced our latest release of the RadiantOne Virtual Directory Server, which offers model-driven virtualization that enables you to expose the underlying context between objects across data silos. By publishing the semantic relationships between these objects, we create a flexible virtualization layer that supports multiple protocol standards, such as LDAP, SQL, and web services. This enables groundbreaking capabilities—including portable identity, multi-tenant services, and rich contexts—for modern architectures, such as SOA and the cloud.

The Secret of Our Most Successful Customers? - Focus, Execution & Vision
There is no question that the times ahead will be challenging. More than ever IT and, in particular, IDM teams are facing tougher technical hurdles and tighter budgets. Mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations mean more identity sources to integrate, more security requirements, more administration…in other words, more of everything. And of course, the expectation is to do more with less and deliver it yesterday.

Identity Integration The Key to Successful SSO
For several years, we have all heard about the value of providing Single Sign-On (SSO) for Web Portals. SSO simplifies access and provides a better user experience. There are many great Web Access Management (WAM) packages available today. These packages provide developers with excellent support for Web SSO. However, often overlooked is the “behind the scenes” need for identity integration. This is the need to provide a unified and composite view of all users across disparate data sources.

As the market leader of complete solutions built on a virtual identity platform, our customer experience has revealed many misconceptions about the capabilities a Virtual Directory Server should have. As we continue our series, we examine the myth that "Virtual Directories do not need metadata or data modeling capabilities".
June 15, 2007
As with every myth, the story starts with some element of truth. The idea is that in a Virtual Directory you always leave the data where it exists and you do not change it. This is a good and pragmatic concept. In fact, one ancestor of a virtual directory service could be found in the so- called LDAP Proxy category. Essentially, you build a thin a protocol layer and then “proxy” the query to the underlying directories (“back-ends”). So far so good. But then the story starts to take on a life of its own stretching an initial idea to the point of incorrectly redefining the entire concept of a Virtual Directory.
