Centrify Corporation, the leader in Unified Identity Services across data center, cloud and mobile, today announced that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named its Centrify Cloud Service as a 2013 Cloud Computing Excellence Award winner, presented by Cloud Computing Magazine. The Cloud Computing Excellence Awards recognize the companies that have most effectively leveraged cloud computing in their efforts to bring new, differentiated offerings to market.
The Centrify Cloud Service is a multi-tenanted service that provides secure communication from on-premise Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure to mobile devices and to the MyCentrify User Portal for secure authentication to SaaS applications. For customers who don’t have Active Directory as a corporate directory, Centrify also offers a fully cloud-based offering for SaaS and mobile management…
The Centrify Cloud Service facilitates secure enforcement of enterprise policies for mobile devices. It also controls access to SaaS applications, and automates logins through a one-click interface for users’ authorized SaaS applications.
“Centrify has been recognized for its achievement in bringing innovation and excellence in the market while leveraging the latest technology trends to create an enriched user experience,” said Erik Linask, Group Editorial Director, TMC.
From an architectural perspective, the Centrify Cloud Service platform is built on a single, unified architecture that is easy to deploy and does not require additional complex infrastructure, such as replicating Active Directory in the cloud. This results in not only one single login for users and one single identity for IT to manage, but Centrify’s unified architecture also ensures high availability and reliability.
“Recognizing leaders in the advancement of cloud computing, TMC is proud to announce Centrify as a recipient of the Third annual Cloud Computing Excellence Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “The Centrify Cloud Service has demonstrated innovation as well as the ability to improve the cloud.”
“In addition to our continued industry and customer traction, the Cloud Computing Excellence Awards validate Centrify’s unique approach to leverage cloud computing in our delivery of differentiated solutions in the areas of secure enterprise mobility and secure SaaS management,” said Tom Kemp, Centrify CEO. “Our Centrify Cloud Service is unique in delivering secure, enterprise-class mobility with integrated application Single Sign-on to not only improve enterprise security, but also increase workforce productivity.”
