Driving Data Center Efficiency through Server and Application Consolidation
In today’s exceedingly competitive environment, every IT department operates under the mandate to reduce costs, increase return on investment, and provide a more consistent environment to support compliance initiatives. In addition, IT solutions must be able to quickly adapt to changes in demand and business processes.

Access Certification: Addressing and Building on a Critical Security Control
Operating such a business while remaining compliant is a tall order. To succeed, a company must have an identity and access management (IAM) infrastructure in place to ensure that people have access to all the resources they need (but none of those they don’t), and to prove in audits that access is being managed correctly and in compliance with internal security policies and external regulations. This white paper will examine these often conflicting demands on the enterprise and show how access certification technology makes it possible to meet them.
