SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Centrify Corporation, the leading provider of security and compliance solutions that centrally control, secure and audit access to cross-platform systems, mobile devices and applications, today announced the Centrify Trade-Up Program, which offers organizations various incentives for previously purchased alternative products when migrating to Centrify's solutions prior to June 30, 2013. Centrify's integrated solution for both Active Directory Bridging of UNIX/Linux/Mac systems and cross-platform privileged user management and auditing can reduce operational costs and simplify administration for organizations of any size.
In today's heterogeneous IT environments, establishing accountability by linking access privileges and actions to named users is a complex task, especially with UNIX, Linux and Apple Mac systems. While Active Directory provides a central repository for Windows accounts, user entitlements for other systems often reside in disparate identity silos or are managed locally system by system. Centrify - which leads the industry with more than 4,500 customers worldwide and more than 375 platforms, applications and mobile devices supported - offers a comprehensive approach to identity management including authentication, authorization and auditing capabilities that are based on a single, unified architecture. This eliminates the need to install, configure and manage multiple point products as required by other vendors. Additionally, Centrify has a proven, patented approach to migrating and managing UNIX and Linux identities that does not require any changes to the Active Directory schema, making deployment and ongoing maintenance much easier for administrators.
"Many vendors require customers to deploy and maintain a collection of point products with poor integration - adding significant complexity and costs," said Frank Cabri, Centrify VP of Marketing. "We have also heard many complaints of other vendors not meeting users' expectations regarding customer support and concerns regarding vendors' products being passed from acquirer to acquirer. We wanted to give IT organizations that might be dealing with these issues a proven and affordable program that gives them an option to migrate to Centrify in a way that is easy on their IT team and their budget."
Centrify offers attractive discounts for customers using alternative products who are interested in migrating to Centrify's solutions. The program includes discounts on licenses, maintenance and free training for qualified organizations. Some of the eligible products for Centrify's trade-up program include:
· BeyondTrust® PowerBroker® for UNIX (formerly Symark PowerBroker)
· BeyondTrust® PowerBroker® Identity Services Enterprise Edition (formerly Likewise Enterprise)
· BeyondTrust® PowerBroker® Identity Services Open Edition (formerly Likewise Open)
