VDS Context Edition uses virtualization to create a complete identity service for mission-critical initiatives. By isolating applications from the complexity of backend sources, VDS Context Edition provides a single unified view of customers, enabling authentication, authorization, audit, and
profile management for sophisticated IdM initiatives and context management, such as web access management, portal SSO, and federation. VDS Context Edition unifies multiple directories, databases, and web services into a single source, acting as an LDAP Directory, SQL Server, or web service.
Incorporating all the functions and features of VDS Proxy Edition, the Context Edition not only federates queries, but offers a complete data model that understands the underlying systems and allows for views to be modeled at will. RadiantOne virtualization provides identity integration, without distrupting current integration points, with guarenteed performance, and more flexible deployment options.
VDS Context Edition turns the toughest identity integration challenges—often unsolvable even with custom coding and complex configurations—into cost-effective, non-disruptive, risk-free deployments.

VDS Context Edition connects to heterogeneous data sources and analyzes existing data structures to build a model of the underlying source's objects and their relationships.(See Context Builder - Schema Manager)
|
 |
Multiple virtual "context views" are created and customized using the VDS Context Edition tools—without disrupting existing integration points. (See Context Builder - View Designer) |
 |
Data sources are accessed and identities are aggregated, integrated, or correlated based on the requirements of your security and access management application and the constraints of your environment. |
 |
Identity information is delivered to an application through the high performance, scalable, and fault-resistant LDAP v3 directory service, or via HTTP, SOAP, DSML, XML, SPML, SAML, and SQL.5. |

RadiantOne's exclusive caching technology guarantees both high availability and high speeds.

RadiantOne VDS Context Edition enables an identity infrastructure that will meet the ever-changing requirements of an organization. Whether it's for internal or external users, employees, contractors, partners, or customers, RadiantOne VDS is the single access point for all IdM applications and service platforms.
FEATURES
Context Builder
- Manage schema definitions and create data model views out of heterogeneous data sources
- Extract metadata (structure, formats, and relationships) from existing data sources and map attributes and data structures into a common schema.
- Builds virtual views (DITs) and hierarchies, based on your design and leveraging existing relationships.
Admin Console
- Use wizards to easily manage all identity and access management tasks
- Delegate VDS administrative rights based on roles.
- Monitor availability and status of VDS and backend sources.
- Enable service alerts.
Remote Admin Console
- Manage multiple servers through a single web-based interface.
- Remotely access and administer all VDS functions.
Persistent Cache
- Get guaranteed performance regardless of the nature and performance of the underlying source.
- Refresh cache in real time based on event detection.
- Perform complex joins across multiple sources without sacrificing performance.
- Recover faster than with “memory-only” cache.
Access and Audit Logging
- Log any and all VDS operations.
- Get true Log2DB audit capabilities and easily create charts and other reports.
LDAP Access Router and Local Store
- Get advanced load-balancing and fail-over with the RadiantOne Access Router; monitoring options add scalability and performance.
- Use LDAP v.3 compliant local store to store attributes for profile extension up to full replication of other LDAP stores.
COMMON USE CASES
- Integrate user and resource profiles across multiple heterogeneous sources (LDAP, SQL, web services, and applications).
- Build complete identity profiles for fine-grained authorization and role management.
- Enable authentication across security domains using disparate credential checking methods.
- Aggregate and Integrate groups and roles across different trust systems.
- Provide high-performance search of materialized hierarchical views across multiple databases.
BENEFITS
- Leverage existing identity information
With RadiantOne virtualization, your enterprises can use
identity data in existing directories, databases, applications, and
web services, without modification. Avoid complicated political and data stewardship issues by leveraging your available data instead of having to recreate the identity in yet another disparate data source.
- Speed deployment
Using virtualization, you use information from traditional, inflexible
data sources in a flexible layer that allows you to format data
for specific application requirements. Graphically-based tools for
design, testing, and simulation are quick and easy to use in aiding
an accurate and speedy deployment process.
- Reduce costs
Traditional integration methods tend to be hard-coded and
tightly coupled. This means a lot of repetitious work and slower
deployment times due to complicated change management. With
RadiantOne, your enterprise can avoid these traditional pitfalls
to integration. Virtualization cuts down on cost and development
time, leading to a faster return on investment for current and future
identity initiatives.
- Higher performance and availability
Design and deploy hierarchical materialized views with the highest
availability, highest performance, and lowest latency in the
industry, even in the face of very complex joins and the most
disparate environments.
- A full-spectrum solution for identity & context integration
RadiantOne VDS is the key enabler for your Identity Management.
It delivers a complete identity service based on virtualization which
can be linked “contextually” to any resources for authentication,
authorization, audit, and profile management.
