Solving Identity Integration Challenges with Virtualization

The world of IT and security is changing. What was once highly centralized is now increasingly federated, with vital data scattered across systems and in the cloud. To bridge these disparate, distributed sources, and secure and enable new services, you need an integrated view of identity and its relevant context.

The RadiantOne Identity and Context Virtualization platform enables an evolutionary approach to these challenges. RadiantOne leverages your existing identity infrastructure, while opening a new world of flexibility and services. According to Gartner, such virtualization technology is key to the emerging identity infrastructure. While there are several options in the virtual directory category, there is only one solution that allows you to virtualize both identity and context for high-volume, high-complexity environments.

Manage Globally, Act Locally with RadiantOne

RadiantOne features three products designed to solve your toughest integration challenges. By combining the best of meta and virtual directories and delivering identity and context as a service, Radiant Logic allows you to manage globally and act locally. So you gain a global view of identity and context, while managing information and enforcing security at the local level, as close to the source of services as possible.

Identity and Context Virtualization solves a wide spectrum of identity integration challenges:

• Portal Security: Federate authentication and authorization across heterogeneous systems to deliver SSO and Federation to your portal. By unifying distributed identity and linking it to application context, Identity and Context Virtualization simplifies authentication and provides relevant attributes in real time for better security and more personalized services.
• Directory Virtualization: Create and secure a common “virtual” identity out of disparate and distributed directory infrastructures. By separating the storage from the delivery, Identity and Context Virtualization enables you to consume identity information through many protocols—LDAP, SQL, SPML, and object-level web services—regardless of how or where it’s stored.
• Cloud Security: Federate your identity to create a single point of access for both on-premise and cloud-based applications. By delivering identity as a complete, on-premise service, you have a local identity hub for all your applications, whether they’re enterprise, web-based, or in the cloud.
• Context-Aware Applications: Reveal the identity and context—or “actors and their actions and settings”—locked in application and data silos. By extracting and externalizing this information, Identity and Context Virtualization helps you overcome data fragmentation, ensure better security and privacy, improve workflow, and enable innovative new context-aware services.
