Burton Group Tech Watch podcast: Adoption and State of the Federation Market
In January 2008, Burton Group published a report evaluating products in the Federation technology market. Federation is an important tool for deploying cross-domain sign-on and access solutions. With more than a dozen products on the market today, information technology (IT) architects have no shortage of options. Because large organizations require a tiered model for federation, few will be able to settle on a single federation server or hosted provider for all their federation needs. Most organizations will deploy a mix of general-purpose, application-specific, and open source technologies to round out federated identity.
In this Burton Group Tech Watch podcast, Gerry Gebel moderates a discussion on the adoption and state of the federation market with providers: Ping Identity, Covisint and Sun.
Participants:
Burton Group – Gerry Gebel, VP and Service Director
Ping Identity - Patrick Harding, Chief Technology Officer
Covisint - David Miller, Chief Security Officer
Sun Microsystems – Pat Patterson, Federation Architect
