Centrify Delivers Robust Support for Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition to Enable
Secure Cloud Computing

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Centrify Corporation, the leading
provider of Microsoft Active Directory-based, identity and access management
and auditing solutions for non-Microsoft platforms, today announced that its
Centrify Suite supports Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition, which includes an open
source cloud computing environment that will be easily integrated with
Microsoft Active Directory through the Centrify Suite for identity, access and
privilege management.

"We've delivered a manageable, robust Linux environment for enabling cloud
computing," said Steve George, Director of Corporate Services, at Canonical.
"Centrify's comprehensive support for our 9.10 release will allow customers to
centralize authentication and access controls for systems running on their
premises or 'in the cloud'."

"Security becomes increasingly important as organizations entrust their
enterprise systems to cloud service providers," said David McNeely, Director
of Product Management, at Centrify Corporation. "Centrify helps organizations
deploying Ubuntu by enabling granular, role-based access controls and
privilege management that goes well beyond access controls to ensure that
their administrators have only the rights they need without giving them
extended privileges that, if misused, could compromise systems and by
extension the business."

Centrify has long supported Canonical and all versions of Ubuntu Desktop and
Server on x86 (Intel 32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit) from version 6.06 LTS to 9.10
Server Edition. For more information on supported platforms and versions,

The Centrify Suite is an integrated family of Active Directory-based auditing,
access control and identity management solutions that secures and strengthens
regulatory compliance initiatives for over 200 cross-platform operating system
environments. Centrify DirectControl addresses the need to secure both
physical and virtual environments by effectively turning a non-Microsoft
system or hypervisor into an Active Directory client, enabling administrators
to secure that system using the same authentication and Group Policy services
currently deployed for their Windows systems, as well as adding granular
access control through its patent-pending Zone technology. Centrify
DirectAuthorize centrally manages and enforces role-based entitlements for
fine-grained control of user access and privileges on UNIX and Linux systems
as well as a wide range of hypervisors. Centrify DirectAudit delivers
auditing, logging and real-time monitoring of user activity on non-Microsoft
systems. Built on a common architecture, the integrated Centrify Suite of
solutions helps to improve IT efficiency, strengthen regulatory compliance
initiatives, and centrally secure a heterogeneous computing environment.

Pricing and Availability
The Centrify Suite with support for Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition will be
generally available from Centrify and its worldwide partners in approximately
60 days. The Centrify Suite is licensed on a per guest OS server basis,
starting at $350 per server.
