SANTA CLARA, CALIF. October 8, 2009 – Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) annonce aujourd’hui de nouvelles versions des solutions de Sun Role Manager et Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition, offrant aux organisations des outils performants pour une gestion des identités encore plus efficace.

“Our customers will like the products we are announcing today because they were designed to impact their bottom line,” said Daniel Raskin, chief identity strategist, Sun Microsystems. “Companies are looking for better ways to achieve and maintain compliance, as well as extend their identity management solutions to the extranet. Advanced technologies available in Sun Role Manager software and Directory Server Enterprise Edition will help our customers scale their businesses, while protecting millions of users and hundreds of applications without headaches.”

Sun Role Manager 5.0 Software Leads Industry with Comprehensive Compliance Features

New features in Sun Role Manager 5.0 software enable organizations to move beyond answering the question of “who has access to what?” to “what did users do with their access?” by offering a 360-degree view of assigned user access to data and applications. With this new feature, IT and business managers are able to more intelligently govern the definition, assignment and enforcement of access within their organizations. Sun Role Manager software is one of the first integrated role-based provisioning and auditing solutions to use business roles, such as job function and title, to assign, attest, audit, and enforce access across the enterprise.

Sun has also added key enhancements to Sun Role Manager software, including closed-loop remediation and rule lifecycle management, making Sun one of the first vendors to offer enterprises a more complete and automated set of tools for reviewing user access, removing inappropriately assigned access, as well as showing auditors how and why access to data and applications was assigned. In addition, Sun Role Manager 5.0 software allows organizations to test “what-if” scenarios to determine the impact changes to rules will have on the access assignment process before they are implemented. The new software also provides users with a Web-service interface for remote execution of both rule assignment and separation-of-duty (SOD) rules.

“Express Scripts currently has both Sun’s Identity Manager and Role Manager software in production. Both products are integrated, providing a seamless on-boarding experience that has allowed us to reduce what typically took several days down to hours,” said Matthew Modica, senior manager of IT Security, Express Scripts, Inc.

Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Boosts Speed and Performance
