To help customers manage the critical identity information that drives their business applications, Oracle today announced Oracle Unified Directory 11g.
As a key component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, Oracle Unified Directory is the world’s first unified directory solution with highly integrated storage, synchronization, and proxy capabilities. These capabilities help meet the evolving needs of enterprise architectures that must support an increasing number of mobile computing and cloud computing requirements.
Using Oracle Unified Directory, customers can lower the cost of administration and ownership by maintaining a single directory for all of their enterprise needs, while also simplifying their enterprise architecture.
Oracle Unified Directory is optimized for mobile and cloud computing environments where elastic scalability becomes critical as service providers need a solution that can scale by dynamically adding more directory instances without re-architecting their solutions to support exponential business growth.
Oracle Unified Directory joins the Oracle Directory Services Plus Suite of products, which also includes Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition, Oracle Virtual Directory 11g and Oracle Internet Directory 11g. This next-generation product builds on the company’s existing directory solutions, providing the most integrated and complete directory services offering on the market.
“Oracle Unified Directory significantly changes the directory market landscape by providing a unified solution in a fragmented marketplace that addresses enterprise, Internet and cloud requirements,” said Amit Jasuja, vice president, Oracle Identity Management. “By implementing a single integrated offering, customers no longer have to compromise between speed and features because Oracle Unified Directory can easily provide both.”
