In today’s demanding business environment, Computing and Network infrastructures are evolving from a technology resource to a critical business resource which drives strategies associated with network management and access control. In the past, network management tools have been limited to device discovery and management and not as a proactive tool.
Identity Driven Manager allows administrators to define and manage policies from a central location, eliminating the need to configure each network element separately. By automatically managing intelligent network access in this way, Identity Driven Manager gives network administrators more control over their networks, more productivity from their IT staff, and more adaptability in an increasingly competitive business environment.
The new approach is to push intelligence to the edge of the infrastructure to enable Identity Driven Management (IDM) offering a robust IDM functionality for an advanced, dynamic, adaptive and easy-to-manage infrastructure.
In order to make this transition, organizations face several business and information technology challenges.
Key business challenges:
- Enabling users to access just the right network resources to achieve business results
- Simplifying the management of network privileges to people across the business
- Facilitating real-time network adaptation in accordance with changing business needs and the deployment of new applications
Key IT challenges:
- Adapting network behavior based on the business needs of the user
- Implementing an industry standard way to control network behavior for each user
- Establishing a single interface to configure and administer policies across the network
- Simplifying and automating the administration of privileges and policies
IDM helps companies maximize network and computer resources and improve productivity by enabling automatic configuration at the network edge through security and management policies. IDM solutions make this possible by allowing network administrators to dynamically apply security and performance settings to computer infrastructure devices based on user, location, time and other variables. The result is a unified management infrastructure and a more secure, mobile, multi-service network.
IDM is the foundation for creating an intelligent network that is able to prevent unauthorized use and deliver an adaptive, user-friendly experience for a more productive workforce.
