Red Hat announced last week to acquire Table Directory Server, and "Net View Certificate Management System" with 23 million US dollars, will help it improve the capacity of enterprise Linux services. The joint founder of IT architecture automation software vendor Opsware, Technical Director Husi said that only Linux is not enough, the customer truly needs the application software running on Linux.
Novell last year's acquisition of SUSE Linux improves the manufacturer's threshold for enterprise Linux and open source application applications. Novell also continues to use its mature directory services and NetWare operating systems to accelerate the SUSE Linux operating system as an enterprise-level operating system. "Novell Directory Service" is applied in a distributed computing environment, stores all information related to the Internet, intranet, and network resources. Novell also announced last week to issue the "Open Enterprise Server" software in February next year.
When Red Hat launches a directory service based on Netscape Company technology next year, it is not only a service that competes with Open LDAP, but also provides more advanced certification and access control required by the enterprise environment. ability. Both the "Net View Directory Server" and Open LDAP are based on House and his classmates to study the standards created during the Ph.D. in Michigan.
House says Open LDAP is more suitable for department-level environments, but if you want to match each other between the directory server and other directory servers, it is also more suitable for "Net View Directory Server". He said, it is clear that the directory problem is not the only problem that the company uses Linux, but the Red Hat will help accelerate the popularity of Linux in the enterprise.
