What is the Identity Manager Virtual Identity Manager?
Virtual Identity Manager is a patent-pending technology that enables the collection of key information on managed accounts without duplicating the entire account on a private, centralized repository. With Virtual Identity Manager, the source data is left where it natively resides and a centralized index to that data is built. This eliminates the need to create yet another repository of user data or duplicate/synchronize organizations from native directories. This data-sparse model also lessens the requirement for constant data synchronization as the data stays where it belongs — in the native format. The Virtual Identity Manager illustrates that the primary goal of identity management is to gain control of the user management process, not ownership of the underlying identity data.
