Azure Active Directory: Hybrid Identity

The hybrid identity of Azure Active Directory is the feature that makes this such a powerful tool in the field of corporate identity management. With this cloud solution users have the ability to authenticate using their corporate credentials, but also to connect to non-company computers. It is, in essence, the service that Microsoft has decided to administer the directory and identity "through the cloud": a simple system to use and - most importantly - convenient, available to all IT administrators who need to offer its business partners, as well as their employees, access SSO (acronym for Single Sign-on) to Office365, Concur, Dropbox, to Salesforce.com and many other SaaS cloud applications.

Among the merits of Azure Active Directory it is to understand a very wide range of useful features for identity management, which includes not only the recording devices and the management of privileged accounts, but also the multi-factor authentication , access control based on role, the self-service management of groups and password, use the monitoring and safety announcements. A set of features - and there are many more - that help to protect and ensure the security of applications that rely on the cloud, but at the same time allow you to reduce costs, streamline IT processes and achieve business goals desired.

Thanks to this solution have the opportunity to devote himself exclusively to the realization of the same applications: the integration is made faster and easier, thanks to a solution that is used by many organizations, application developers, for their part, in every corner of the planet.

But the beauty of Azure Active Directory is that it can integrate with a minimum number of clicks, for an instance of Windows Server Active Directory already exists: in this way, organizations have the opportunity to take advantage of local investment already in place as regards the identity of the purpose of administering the management as they wish access to the different SaaS applications that depend on the "cloud". The list of advantages of this proposal Azure would be unlimited, but certainly worth it to put in evidence the high rate of reliability, even in the face of very delicate business needs. Worldwide, there are nearly 30 data centers: if we add the automation of failover, you can well understand how and why Active Directory is not so sure.

In fact, if you encounter any problems or drawbacks in a data center, in at least two other data centers located in different geographical areas copies of directory data would still be available, so that you could count on immediate access. In short, with Azure Active Directory costs are reduced, IT processes become simpler and employee productivity is increased: and it's all about the rapid adoption of cloud services and very secure applications, with high quality standards.

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
