The Invisible Transformation: Retire Legacy LDAP Directories Without Disruption

Join Doug Simmons of TechVision Research and Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic to find out how RadiantOne can seamlessly migrate and modernize the directory infrastructure to boost performance while reducing technical debt.
The Invisible Transformation: Retire Legacy LDAP Directories Without Disruption
The legacy LDAP directory infrastructure is a major pain point today for organizations looking to cut costs, boost agility, and secure their environment. Organizations have deployed IAM security services underpinned by legacy LDAP directory solutions such as Sun/iPlanet, CA eTrust, Novell eDirectory, IBM Directory Services and Oracle Internet Directory, many of which have reached end-of-life status. The current reality is that many organizations are operating unsupported or under-supported directories that are costly to maintain and aren’t up to modern demands. They don’t scale to meet volume requirements, they don’t support modern access protocols like REST, and they don’t support easy migration to the cloud.
Upgrading to a more flexible and performant directory is a daunting task, complicated by the requirement to “clean up” data prior to migration, and make the move without impacting users or applications connecting to it. Application dependencies keep the organization tied to the existing directory—but what if there was a way to decouple access from storage, extend the value of existing directories and/or retire legacy stores, upgrade to a modern storage solution seamlessly, and save your organization millions in budget and resources? Join Doug Simmons of TechVision Research and Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic to find out how.
