A market leader for performance, scalability and compatibility.
Introduction
Reliance you can count on
Leading service providers have been implementing Directory Server for over a decade. This state-of-the-art directory handles large quantities of data, provides lightning-fast response times and offers the industry’s highest levels of scalability and performance. Directory Server has been deployed and successfully managed in the most demanding IT infrastructures.
High-speed access to user profiles and other data required by mission-critical systems and applications are just some of the benefits of our highly scalable directory.
Features
Easy-to-manage, distributed access to information
High Performance and Scalability
- Support millions of entries across a distributed directory infrastructure
- Scale to multi-million entries
- Deliver sub-second response times with hundreds of queries per second
- Present a globally unified directory namespace through standard distribution protocol
- Add directory servers as required to scale services
- Optimise performance and reduce network bandwidth requirements
- Optimize through x.500 distribution standards for chaining and replication
Transactional and data integrity
- Ensure authentication, authorization and access control rights using the most current user profile information
- Guarantee transactional integrity by not fully committing a transaction until all relevant directory components have been updated
- Ensure integrity by committing all transactions to disk instead of caching
Standards support
