LinuxIT has launched an application for its European customers aimed at helping them centrally secure their UNIX and Linux systems and applications by leveraging their existing Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure. LinuxIT’s new services are built around Centrify Corporations’ comprehensive Active Directory-based applications for cross-platform auditing, access control and authentication.
“We want to show companies how they can create a secure, connected computing environment by seamlessly integrating their non-Microsoft systems and applications with Microsoft Active Directory,” says Alex Christophe, the Solutions Sales Director at LinuxIT Europe. “The solutions LinuxIT are taking to market not only re-connect the disconnected enterprise from a technical perspective, but to also enable UNIX and Windows teams to work together more efficiently using a single set of tools and processes. LinuxIT and Centrify can help these teams to work together toward their common goal of strengthening security and streamlining operations for their organisations.”
“Centrify are pleased to be working with LinuxIT to bring our solutions to a broader European audience,” adds Bob Shears, the EMEA General Manager for Centrify. “They have proven expertise in helping customers better manage complex environments where mixed Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms are a fact of life, and their selection of Centrify solutions further validates our strategic vision of delivering a comprehensive set of Active Directory- centric authentication, access control and auditing solutions for non- Microsoft platforms.”
