The New RadiantOne Virtual Directory Server: Key Innovations for Your Enterprise Infrastructure
RSA 2009 was dominated by talk of the economic downturn and Oracle’s surprise acquisition of Sun Microsystems. The news sparked fear, doubt, and uncertainty across the industry about the fate of Sun’s many innovations and open source initiatives.
Such a high-profile acquisition reminds me of a similarly turbulent time, back when we announced the first-ever virtual directory server. In that era of bursting tech bubbles, I could not have predicted that RadiantOne VDS would become an accepted and essential part of enterprise infrastructures throughout the Fortune 1000 and beyond. We’ve seen a lot since then: competitors have come and gone, or consolidated.
But then, as now, one fact remains constant: A commitment to quality, service, and innovation is the key to success. And I want to thank our customers for their trust and confidence over the years; it’s helped us build a solid, profitable, and growing company.
The Future of Identity Integration: Putting It All In Context 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.
So you'll have much more control over your identity data, without having to worry about the increasing heterogeneity of your underlying systems. And that's a vital advantage these days, when we're all doing more with less; leveraging disparate legacy systems; and managing an unprecedented wave of mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring.
You can get all the details about our new products below, and we're ready to help everyone reap the benefits of the new RadiantOne product line-up. Just contact your account rep or SE, or email us for more information about your seamless upgrade path.
We look forward to working with you to solve your identity integration challenges, both now and in the future.
