Advantages of Virtual Directories
Virtual Directories:
- Enable faster deployment because users do not need to add and sync additional application-specific data sources
- Leverage existing identity infrastructure and security investments to deploy new services
- Deliver high availability of data sources
- Provide application-specific views of identity data which can help avoid the need to develop a master enterprise schema
- Allow a single view of identity data without violating internal or external regulations governing identity data
- Act as identity firewalls by preventing denial-of-service attacks on the primary data-stores and providing further security on access to sensitive data
- Can reflect changes made to authoritative sources in real-time
- Present a unified virtual view of user information from multiple systems so that it appears to reside in a single system
- Can secure all backend storage locations with a single security policy

Famous quotes containing the words advantages of, advantages and/or virtual:
“To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel.... Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The respect for human rights is one of the most significant advantages of a free and democratic nation in the peaceful struggle for influence, and we should use this good weapon as effectively as possible.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
