Active Directory Design

Design and Implementation of Active Directory on Windows 2008 R2

The demands on IT groups have never been greater. Pressure to operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and increase employee productivity has led IT groups to seek solutions to very difficult problems. Central to the challenges facing IT is the management of identities and authentication.

Organisations have come to rely on more and more applications and systems, but as the number of applications and systems increases, so does the number of identities that IT must manage and employees must use. With this proliferation of users and devices in an organisation, there is a greater need for a central place to store and manage information about users and their privileges. In addition, the central store must be able to adapt to new scenarios, such as integrating with Online Services and adapting to new organisational security policies and compliance reporting.

Parative’s Design and Implementation Services for Active Directory allows you to deploy and optimise Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory services in the most effective way possible by implementing consistent, reproducible processes and configurations that improve efficiency and require less effort to maintain.
