whitepaper The Challenges of Administering Active Directory2009-09-16 NetIQ
  As Active Directory's role in the enterprise has drastically increased, so has the need to secure the data it stores and to which it enables access. The lack of native control makes the secure administration of Active Directory a challenging task at best for administrators. As a result, organizations need assistance in creating repeatable, enforceable processes that will ultimately reduce their administrative overhead, while simultaneously helping increase availability and security of their systems. This paper outlines seven common challenges associated with securely administering Active Directory and provides some helpful insight into what NetIQ can do to assist one with these difficulties.

whitepaper Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Performance on VMware vSphere 42009-09-01 Global Knowledge
  Increased adoption of VMware infrastructure and continued performance advances in hardware and software have driven the virtualization of Microsoft Exchange. The current version, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, is a resource-hungry 64-bit application that has reduced storage demands as compared to previous versions. The increased use of memory and heavier CPU load requires efficient virtualization capabilities to meet customer demands. This paper will detail experiments that demonstrate the efficient performance and scalability of Exchange when running inside a virtual machine on a VMware vSphere 4 environment.

whitepaper Oracle Internet Directory 11g2009-06-01 Oracle
  Directory Services are critical components in an enterprise application infrastructure, providing applications with identity services such as user profiles, access and authorization data. Well-structured and organized directory services are the foundation of efficient and effective identity management solutions that enable enterprise applications. One of the identity management challenges enterprises face is the lack of a single source for identity data and the proliferation of identity stores, including directories and databases. Enterprises have employee information in HR databases and/or Active Directory (AD), customer and partner data in CRM databases and/or LDAP directories.

whitepaper AXIGEN Mail Server - eDirectory Services: Authentication and Single Sign-On Integration2009-05-07 GECAD TECHNOLOGIES
  This paper focuses on the integration between the AXIGEN messaging solution and the eDirectory Services product developed by Novell. The actual level of interaction between the solutions is limited to the user authentication process. Specifically, by following the steps described herein, one will be able to allow the authentication process, that AXIGEN usually performs using the internal database, to be outsourced into eDirectory. This simplifies credential management and ensures password consistency across multiple applications and network services.

whitepaper Novell Storage Manager for Novell eDirectory: Bringing the Exponential Growth of Unstructured Data Under Control2009-04-01 Novell
  The amount of data maintained on organizations' network storage systems has grown exponentially over the past few years. This is generally due to regulatory compliance or the demands of today's digital workplace fueling significant increases in users' unstructured file storage. IDC projects that the annual capacity growth rate for unstructured data in traditional enterprises is expected to grow at 62.2 percent. Unfortunately, most organizations lack the tools necessary to control and manage this ever-increasing storage growth. Bringing unstructured data under control can be extremely difficult and time consuming. While many organizations develop written policies for managing their storage, the execution and enforcement of these policies often fail to occur.
