IBM launching security tools for SMEs
Published: 20 Nov 2006 09:30 GMT
IBM will unveil a scaled-down version of its federated security software on Monday, in a move to reach out to small businesses.
IBM's new Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway, a version of Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, aims to allow small companies of up to 5,000 employees to connect like spokes of a large company, or hub, to share information securely via a single sign-on.
"The hubs want to sell to smaller partners and before, these partners would have to use the full product to be a spoke," said Joe Anthony, IBM's Tivoli identity management director.
Tivoli's business gateway is roughly a third of the size of the full Federated Identity Manager, in terms of data requirements. The product will generally be available from 24 November and retail for $70,000 (£37,000) per server, with no limits on the number of users.
