Keeping up with the fiercely competitive market for open-source Web content management (WCM) systems, DotNetNuke has simplified the user interface of its namesake WCM product and added new bits for connecting to the cloud and to Microsoft SharePoint, the company announced Monday.
Over the last few years, Schneider Electric grew internationally as a collection of businesses, each of which had its own CIO, CFO and other shared services. When corporate leaders decided to shift the organization to a single structure, they started with IT, and David Patzwald was suddenly no longer CIO of Schneider Electric North America--in the new simplified, global structure, he is SVP of Integration Services, Schneider Electric.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) was released for servers and desktops last week, bringing much-anticipated virtualization and improved security features to Red Hat users and enthusiasts. Some early takes on the software from experts and analysts are positive. They say the built-in Xen-based virtualization and simplified Security Enhanced Linux (SE Linux) features were well worth the wait.
At last week’s Converge07 conference for Courion customers and friends I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel (well, I WAS the panel) for Courion VP of Services Nelson Ronkin’s presentation about integrating enterprise single/simplified sign-on (ESSO) with self-service password reset (SSPR). While both are identity management technologies that many organizations will want to implement, it may not be readily apparent why they would be candidates for integration.
The term "user-centric" identity is getting bandied about a lot these days. It's generally understood to be a different way of expressing the entire identity transaction as opposed to what might be called the "enterprise-centric" approach traditionally used within provisioning, federation and enterprise simplified sign-on (ESSO) situations. There is still much confusion as to exactly what steps are necessary to make the transaction truly user-centric, though.
This week we're talking about the lack of merger and acquisition announcements at the recent Burton Group Catalyst Conference. In the last issue, I discussed the reasons why the virtual directory and simplified sign-on areas are showing little M&A activity, but today I want to examine what's happening in the role management and role-based access control space.
Sentillion, very much to its credit, continues to aim squarely at the healthcare market. Paul Roscoe, Sentillion’s president of worldwide sales and marketing, reemphasized that point when I was speaking to him last week about the company’s newest product, expreSSO. Neat name, I wonder why Passlogix didn’t trademark that a year ago. But the name does fit the product – an easy to install, easy to set up and easy to use enterprise simplified sign-on solution.
Search tools have simplified our lives in many ways, so why not network management? So reason the founders of Splunk, a start-up that has released a search product to make sense of logs and other types of event information generated by systems as they go about their business.
It seems every time I think that single sign-on is becoming old hat something comes along that makes me open my eyes. WIDE. I sat down with Metapass CEO David Dupouy last week while he showed off his excellent solution for single sign-on. And I do mean "single sign-on" literally. It's not "simplified" sign-on or "reduced" sign-on - it's perhaps the only contender for the "it works with everything" prize. But don't just take my word for it.
Quest software, which sometimes appears relentless in its pursuit of Active Directory-based technologies, opened its pocketbook again last week when it offered $56.5 million for Vintela, the company that pioneered extending simplified sign-on based on Active Directory to Unix, Linux and Java-enabled platforms.
Trustgenix last week released a simplified version of its server for sharing identities among companies that is designed to let users easily integrate partners into their infrastructure for access control.
A simplified system for tracing under Linux lets
user-defined "tracing engines" keep an eye on a
process' system calls, inject new events, and monitor
CPU state.
Linux virtualization frenzy has a new challenger:
the simplified virtualization technology, KVM, has
made it into the standard kernel. Could it be a
better approach to using the virtualization features
of new Intel and AMD processors?
Avaya this week acquired Traverse Networks and announced simplified pricing for its various VoIP software platforms — moves the vendor hopes will be a one-two punch against Cisco and Nortel in the mobility and collaboration arena.
New cloud-based software lets employees register, secure, and manage their personal devices without IT department involvement. And a simplified Web interface automates a lot of management tasks.
The Wi-Fi Alliance has begun certifying products that simplify access to hotspots and roaming between different mobile service operators; providers and equipment vendors are expected to test these products in the fourth quarter, the Wireless Broadband Alliance said on Tuesday.
Here in New England we place great store in the writings of Henry David Thoreau, a famous IT manager of some years past. Today his writings rarely show up in computer science curriculums and infrequently appear on the reference shelves in most IT rooms. It is even a good bet that most of you are probably blissfully unaware that the very origin of the term "throughput" began in IT as "thoreauput."
The SMB marketplace requires simple solutions and now, at last, vendors are providing this segment with some new technologies - many quite sophisticated – and coupling them with simple installation procedures and simplified user interfaces. Today, some thoughts on how this is likely to affect storage purchasing.
IBM will acquire object-based storage vendor Cleversafe in a move to bolster its cloud business unit with more flexibility and simplified management options in the hybrid cloud, it announced on Monday.
In April, we covered some automated quality-of-service provisioning capabilities now available for enterprise switch and router gear. We received several notes from readers expressing interest in this subject, so we thought we'd delve into a bit more detail.
