Netspring, Inc. (HQ: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Susumu Nishitake), a provider of network related products, today introduces new additions to its fleet of “AXIOLE” LDAP-based authentication servers, “AXIOLE for AWS”. The new family of products are based on Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), and will commence shipping on April 25.
NetSpring’s AXIOLE series are dedicated authentication appliance servers supporting the LDAP and RADIUS authentication protocols.
The ability to collaborate with Active Directory (AD) and other LDAP servers is implemented as standard, allowing you to optionally select and add external collaboration features with Shibboleth and G Suite (formerly Google Apps).
In addition to the original AXIOLE hardware appliance version, there is now a virtual appliance version (VMware vSphere) and a cloud version (Microsoft Azure version) included in the product lineup.
Since beginning shipments in late 2006, AXIOLE has been deployed in a number of higher education and research institutes such as universities and colleges of technology, thanks to design concepts that deliver a compact integrated authentication engine and ease of implementation.
In recent years, it has been increasingly deployed in enterprise and mid-sized companies.
AXIOLE for AWS is a new AXIOLE series product that along with the Microsoft Azure version as a cloud version has been developed in response to requests from enterprise and educational institutions planning to use AWS.
In the cloud version of this product, the redundant hardware configuration can be replaced by the HA-equivalent function on Amazon EC2, eliminating the costs of redundant equipment in the AXIOLE hardware appliance version (including the base price, license fee, on-site maintenance fee, etc.).
