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
