A central component of the Windows platform is the Active Directory directory service. This service provides the means to manage the identities and relationships that make up network environments. Windows Server 2003 makes Active Directory simpler to manage, easing migration and deployment.
For Windows Server 2008 - Active Directory provides the means to manage the identities and relationships that make up your organization's network. Integrated with Windows Server 2008 R2, Active Directory gives you out-of-the-box functionality needed to centrally configure and administer system, user, and application settings.
MBC recognizes that Active Directory is one of, if not, the most critical foundation layers in any IT infrastructure. As such, MBC provides this service to ensure that your organization:
 |
Lower costs of managing your Windows networks. |
|
Simplify identity management by providing a single view of all user information. |
|
Boost security with the ability to enable multiple types of security mechanisms within a single network. |
|
Improve compliance by using Active Directory as a primary source for audit data. |
As your business needs grow and evolve, through MBC’s directive and Windows Server 2008 Active Directory your enterprise can:
|
Manage a growing number of users, roles, and devices. |
|
Centralize the storage and management of user information. |
|
Adapt seamlessly to newer organizational security policies, such as two-factor authentication, data encryption, and compliance tracking. |
