SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 6, 2011) - Ensim Corporation, the leading provider of solutions to manage, orchestrate, and automate private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructure for enterprises and service providers, today announced that a global aerospace company engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, and integration of advanced technology systems, has deployed Ensim Unify Group Manager to improve management of its Active Directory security groups and Microsoft Exchange distribution lists.
To support the implementation of an advanced Exchange infrastructure and complex Active Directory environment, the organization sought a more efficient alternative to the internal administration tool previously used by its IT department. Updates to Exchange and Active Directory frameworks required the home-grown tool's scripts be re-written, which took up significant IT budget and resources and presented an overall limited and finite implementation. After passing a rigorous security review, Ensim Unify Group Manager was approved as a solution. It offered an immediate solution to the company's needs by providing not only the required functionality, but significant additional features including granular role-based delegation, definable workflow, and management automation that simplified creation and management of both distribution lists and security groups.
Ensim Unify Group Manager for Active Directory and Exchange automates and streamlines the provisioning and management of security groups and distribution lists. By automating IT policy guidelines and business rules, end-users can be delegated the rights to create and manage their own security or distribution groups without requiring administrator intervention. Automated housekeeping and maintenance functions ensure that all group objects stay in order and any unused groups are appropriately archived or removed as defined by business rules and IT policies. Ensim Unify provides comprehensive group management functionality and delegated administration capabilities that maintain compliance while reducing the IT overhead associated with managing this critical part of the collaboration infrastructure.
"Organizations require efficient solutions to best manage corporate-wide security groups and distribution lists for their mission critical Active Directory and Exchange deployments," said Scott Young, vice president of marketing and product management at Ensim. "Ensim provides an ideal alternative; Unify Group Manager offers a commercial product that eliminates the overhead of an internally developed solution with automated lifecycle maintenance of all groups including the capability to delete groups based on a pre-defined time, lack of usage, or other business rules and policies."
