CHICAGO, Illinois May 31, 2006: This week Symlabs introduced Directory Extender 3.0, a major upgrade to its industry-leading virtual directory server and LDAP proxy software for the enterprise. According to Jeff Zukowski, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Symlabs: "In addition to Directory Extender's blazing speed this release incorporates more built-in functionality, a powerful graphical user interface and expanded platform support. We listened to feedback from our customers and carefully tracked the evolving directory infrastructure market. I am confident that Directory Extender 3.0 is the very best product of its kind, and we encourage people to download our free evaluation and see for themselves."

Some of the benefits that customers can expect from Directory Extender 3.0 are:
Industry leading Speed:
High performance, flexibility and scalability: Symlabs' long-standing commitment to producing the fastest and most stable Virtual Directory and LDAP proxy in the industry has been a key contributor to their high degree of customer satisfaction.
Powerful Graphic User Interface:
A new Java-based graphical user interface (GUI): Customers can now create custom configurations quickly and easily, dramatically reducing deployment times.
Multi-platform Support:
Solaris™, AIX™, Linux™, HP-UX™ and Microsoft Windows™ are now supported. Directory Extender 3.0 thus provides maximum flexibility in heterogeneous IT environments - a major benefit for companies facing complex integration projects commonly associated with mergers or acquisitions.
More built-in functionality
Plug-in modules written in Directory Extender's built-in scripting language provide an extensive array of commonly needed functionality. High-performance scriptlets spare customers the expense and delays associated with custom development while still offering the flexibility and tools needed to handle complex projects with special requirements.
Steve Fister from TIBCO said: "We've been using Directory Extender in large part because nothing else even comes close in terms of sheer performance and scalability. Symlabs has done a terrific job on the new release. The GUI is very intuitive, which allows us to easily take advantage of the software's powerful features; and with more platforms supported, we can tackle other areas in our directory infrastructure that are hampered by poor performance or other problems that Directory Extender is perfectly suited to remedy."
The release of Directory Extender 3.0 adds a host of benefits and unique features to Symlabs' Directory Services Power Tool, including:
* Mapping and transformation capabilities: The ability to integrate disparate directories quickly and seamlessly is becoming a necessity, and Directory Extender makes it easy.
* An exhaustive list of security features: Operating as a multi-protocol directory proxy, Directory Extender decodes and re-encodes packets, which prevents many types of denial-of-service attacks. As another example, it also stops 'trawling', which is an attempt to query an entire directory.
* High availability and fail-over: Directory Extender's automatic fail-over capabilities route requests around failed servers so seamlessly that applications continue to work without interruption.
These are just a few of the benefits that Directory Extender 3.0 delivers. While it is already renowned for virtual directory and LDAP proxy applications, Directory Extender also offers multiple directory integration, very large directory support, data augmentation and an unparalleled ability to manage 'fragmented identities' to give enterprise customers powerful new capabilities to handle their growing demands at an affordable cost.
