Features
Logging, audit, & compliance: VDS features built-in Access and Audit report generation. In addition, the detailed logging capabilities of VDS can be written directly to any standard database, enabling rich reports and graphics for access, compliance, and auditing purposes.
Built-in failover: VDS automatically detects failures in backend sources and will re-route operations to alternate specified servers. Any change in status of connected resources is logged and service alerts are emailed to alert administrators.
Monitoring and alerts: The built-in monitoring console enables users to graphically track the number of connections and memory usage of VDS, as well as the status of connected backend sources. Alerts can be used to notify an administrator when configured thresholds are reached.
Cache: VDS can cache information for scenarios that require greater performance than that of the underlying sources alone. Memory Cache can be configured within the VDS by entry or query, depending on the complexity of the view designed and the performance enhancement needs of the individual data source.
Replication and load-balancing: VDS offers built-in replication capabilities to support multiple instances for fail-over, fault-tolerance, and increased availability in distributed systems. Load balancing can be achieved with the RadiantOne Access Router (included with VDS) or with an LDAP-aware hardware load balancer.
Remote Admin Console: The web-based Remote Admin Console enables remote users to administer one or multiple instances of VDS through their desktop web browser.
Enhanced security benefits: RadiantOne uses multiple layers of security so your data stays safe. At the data level, objects and attributes that are not required can be omitted from the LDAP object view design; such data never reaches the virtual directory itself. At the directory level, access controls determine what information users are able to see. At the network level, VDS supports SSL/TLS for secure transport of data.
Interception scripts: An interception script, similar to a database trigger, is a procedural code executed in response to requests received by VDS. These customized scripts can be invoked “before” (pre-processing) or “after” (post-processing) and can be based the operation such as Bind, Search, Add, Search Result, Modify, Compare, Delete, and statements or custom operations.
