Radiant Logic, the market leader for virtual directory solutions, is
showcasing its new product line at the European Identity Conference this
week. This major rollout of three products is built on its RadiantOne
Identity & Context Virtualization Platform: RadiantOne Virtual Directory
Server (VDS) Proxy Edition 5.1, RadiantOne Virtual Directory Server
(VDS) Context Edition 5.1, RadiantOne Identity and Correlation Server
(ICS) 5.2. In conjunction with the RadiantOne VDS rollout, Michel Prompt
will be speaking this week at the European Identity Conference in
Munich, Germany.
With these releases, Radiant Logic has segmented its flagship RadiantOne
Virtual Directory Server (VDS) to better meet the challenge of identity
integration in increasingly heterogeneous environments, delivering
next-generation innovation and game-changing context management
capabilities. This moves directory virtualization beyond simple
directory aggregation to a complete data model and context-driven
solution for identity integration.
"Radiant Logic has always understood the problem of data integration to
be larger than just connecting disparate data sources,” said Todd
Clayton, CEO, CoreBlox. “They have the unique ability to use the same
core virtual directory technology to solve both complex integration
challenges and fast, simple and efficient directory aggregation projects
for our enterprise Fortune 1000 customers."
With mergers and acquisitions at the highest rate in decades and IT
budgets cut more than 20 percent over the last year, enterprises need to
leverage existing systems and legacy applications to support
business-driving modern architectures, such as SOA, and the cloud.
“Our experience and best practices have shown us that when it comes to
Identity Management and security, context is key. Radiant’s technology
unlocks context and semantics out of existing heterogeneous data silos,”
said Katarina Kreutzfeldt, Managing Director, KOGIT GmbH.
Within today’s complex, heterogeneous environments, there is increasing
demand for secure and scalable ways to integrate siloed data without
disruption, costly and brittle hand coding, or massive infrastructure
investments.
“Traditionally, virtual directories have been seen as a tactical point
solution,” said Michel Prompt, founder and CEO of Radiant Logic. “By
adding the Context Edition to our flagship VDS product, we’re now
providing a complete strategic solution for your entire enterprise
infrastructure. Different environments and initiatives demand different
tools. RadiantOne now delivers secure identity integration and context
management at every level, scaling up with you as your needs evolve.”
Since 2002, Radiant Logic has helped customers worldwide with secure
identity integration based on virtualization that doesn’t disrupt
underlying architectures. With its latest release, RadiantOne provides a
flexible infrastructure that supports large and highly disparate
environments, such as those found in SaaS or cloud-based initiatives.
RadiantOne products share an advanced data modeling and virtualization
engine, for seamless integration and a smooth upgrade path. Companies
can choose the edition that suits their current needs, at the right
price, then scale up easily as future needs require. RadiantOne
virtualization is the key to an identity and contextual service in a
heterogeneous world—ideal for portals, user-centric deployments, and
federation.
RadiantOne Products In Action
VDS Proxy Edition is a classical virtual directory server for
lightweight, super-efficient user-directory integration projects. For
example, a large auto manufacturer used VDS Proxy Edition to integrate
two separate directory infrastructures—Active Directory for internal
users, and Sun Directory Server for external applications. This
integration of Active Directory and Sun infrastructures was done without
disturbing the core AD environment, as this would have created the need
for heavy synchronization and increased its Sun licensing fees.
VDS Context Edition is a full-spectrum solution for complete
identity and context integration, scalable for high-volume, high
complexity environments. For example, a global financial institution
needed to provide access for all its users to a central self-service
portal with Sybase security. Each independent business unit maintained
separate infrastructures and security requirements, making it difficult
to integrate a mix of directories, databases, and web services, Using
VDS Context Edition, the company integrated all its disparate and
distributed security domains into a common virtual namespace, providing
consistent and compliant security enforcement.
ICS enables correlation and synchronization of data across
disparate identity silos for a unified view of identity data across
applications and security domains. For example, a large telecom company
had acquired multiple complementary services and was unable to update
customer information across all its systems. A simple customer service
call meant accessing up to six different applications. ICS provided a
single logical view of all users across every platform, application, and
business unit, enabling the company to manage its customers from a
single access point. Behind the scenes, ICS detected changes to customer
accounts and synchronized them to all “user-subscribed” services.
