I’m happy to announce that Sun Role Manager 5 and Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7 are now shipping!
Sun Role Manager 5.0 is the latest release of Sun’s Enterprise Role Management and Access Governance solution. In this release, Sun is extending it’s leadership in the market by driving innovation that will allow companies to move beyond answering the simple question of “who has access to what?,” and make available the information necessary to intelligently govern the definition, assignment, and enforcement of access within an organization.
Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 allows companies to grow faster and easier. The new release focuses on two key areas – improving performance and lowering total cost of ownership. This release boasts a 3x performance improvement over the previous version of the product. In addition, this release provides hardware optimization with up to 60% improvement in authentications and modifications. This allows customers to accelerate their applications without changing a line of code.
