 Gluu Cloud Identity Appliance 1.0
Released

• Gluu announced version 1.0 of its Cloud Identity
  Appliance, a solution that enables organizations
  to quickly deploy a federation saml (SSO) that
  standardizes how users access both internal and
  external websites. Using the Gluu appliance,
  organizations can deploy an unlimited number of
  SSO endpoints using Linux, or federate with any
  service providers that support the SAML protocol.
•  
• Sharing identity information between
  organizations has been one of the main
  impediments to building online,
  inter-organization communities, said Michael
  Schwartz, Founder/CEO of Gluu. By leveraging
  open standards such as the idp saml and XRI
  identifiers we hope the Gluu Identity Appliance
  will put SSO and data federation within the reach
  of many more organizations in the education,
  government, and enterprise markets.
•  
• Features of the service include (1) schema
  management for SSO (2) management of trust
  relationships between an organization and
  websites (3) support for participation in single
  sign on authentication (4) easy integration with
  existing identity repositories (5) server
  configuration management (6) 24x7x365
  monitoring (7) service level agreement
  reporting (8) support for public or private
  cloud server instances.

The Gluu Cloud Identity Appliance is currently
installed in a beta test environment at the
University of the District of Columbia. Hakeem
Fahm, Director of Information Technology, said
With the Gluu appliance, the University was able
to more rapidly deploy our Federated Sso service.
By adopting industry standards such as SAML,
students, faculty and staff will gain access to
valuable online resources.   Article
