SYMLABS RACES AHEAD OF RIVALS WITH PERFORMANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS

CHICAGO, February 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Symlabs, a global leader in identity management, is demonstrating their dominance of high performance solutions for virtual directory and LDAP applications with the new version 5.0 release of both Symlabs Virtual Directory Server and Symlabs LDAP Proxy. These new products deliver the best speed and reliability in the industry while offering new features that embrace even more uses and configurations, plus simplify implementation and ongoing management.


Symlabs Virtual Directory Server v5.0 is a clear winner in the competitive battle to provide more power for today's identity management infrastructures. Benchmark tests show that it takes performance to heights far exceeding the nearest rival, yet it remains the most flexible software component that can be added to increase functionality and improve the overall administration of an enterprise identity infrastructure.  By consolidating all identity data from a multitude of directories and relational databases, regardless of format or storage location, into a single virtual view that can be accessed quickly and easily by many different users or applications, Symlabs Virtual Directory Server greatly simplifies access to identity information while increasing reliability in the underlying infrastructure. Further, these benefits can be achieved with a minimum of effort, since there is no need to modify applications or physically relocate their identity data.

"Our extreme performance requirements rule out all but first-place finishers, that's why our choice is Symlabs Virtual Directory Server.  It provides high availability, solid security, and the blazing speed we need - plus it's versatile enough to support a wide variety applications." Anton Shmagin, United Nations Development Programme.

Symlabs LDAP Proxy v5.0 is built on the same core engine, so it delivers the same industry-leading speed, reliability, flexibility, and security. It is designed for environments where the back-end and processing requirements are not so complex as to require Symlabs Virtual Directory Server, but need increased performance, higher availability, and streamlined management. It will work with any LDAP or Active Directory server so it can easily be added to an existing directory infrastructure, and it features exceptional scalability to offer service for new applications.

"We're very pleased with Symlabs LDAP Proxy. It delivers on all its promises, giving us great flexibility with tremendous throughput, and it lets us efficiently manage a very complicated environment." Shawn McManus, Perficient.

Both Symlabs LDAP Proxy and Symlabs Virtual Directory Server perform intelligent load balancing across a pool of directory servers to create a level of performance unmatched by any other product currently available, while increasing reliability by monitoring servers, rerouting traffic on failures, and recovering smoothly. Their performance is verified by benchmark results, and the flexibility of both products has been demonstrated by the wide variety of customer problems solved in numerous implementations to-date, in some cases even delivering the solution for multiple challenges right out of the box.

The new releases also incorporate improvements that make them easier to integrate, configure, and tailor to a wider range of applications than ever before. Version 5.0 of Symlabs Virtual Directory Server and Symlabs LDAP Proxy are available now and ready to serve clients who demand speed, reliability, and flexibility.
