Building on Oracle's 25-year history of secure data management, Oracle Enterprise Identity Management Solution uses Oracle's "Unbreakable" technology to provide the reliability, scalability and performance that is required by businesses today. Oracle's EIM solution helps organizations strengthen security, comply with regulatory requirements for privacy and reduce costs, even as they increase access to applications across their extended enterprise.

Oracle Identity Management is a well-integrated suite of services, which all Oracle products – Oracle Database, Internet Application Server, Oracle Collaboration Suite and E-Business Suite – are enabled to leverage out of the box, allowing rapid deployment of Oracle products in the enterprise, including the Oracle Identity Management infrastructure, without the cost and complexity associated with integrating disparate systems.

Identity management enables centralized identity provisioning, access management and enforcement services to all applications throughout the enterprise focusing on the three main areas of User Management, Access Management, and Privacy Management to ensure the highest levels of secure access control, increased productivity and reducing costs and risks are achieved.

Another step toward grid computing is to consolidate your infrastructure using clusters of servers. Oracle 10g is the only infrastructure that has full grid server cluster capabilities for all applications–transaction processing (OLTP), decision support (DSS), and enterprise content management. With Oracle Application Server clusters and with the Oracle Real Application Clusters option for the Oracle Database you can increase reliability and reduce management costs by as much as 20 percent. And only Oracle can run your existing applications in a grid computing environment with no rewrite required.
