Enterprise Desktop Alliance Solutions
Making it easy to deploy, integrate and manage Macs in a Windows environment.
The Enterprise Desktop Alliance »
The EDA suite of solutions enable IT departments to deploy, integrate and manage Macs throughout their organization by applying the same standard Windows-based management tools to support Macs as they do Windows. By leveraging a centralized, uniform, management platform, administrators can deliver identical services and exercise the same controls for both Macs and Windows.
The enterprise Mac leverages the widely deployed Windows servers and management environment rather than depend on a parallel infrastructure and expertise for management support. The solutions that integrate the Mac into the enterprise enhance business productivity, streamline administration and support line of business applications. This business relevance, combined with its unique attributes and capabilities, make the Mac an optimal workstation/laptop at all levels of business.

Identity & Access Management »
IT managers are looking to accommodate their users' choice of Mac systems without having to add management infrastructure and hire or train specialized staff. While IT desktop support personnel can centrally configure security, desktop and application settings for Windows systems using Group Policy, Macs tend to be managed separately. IT administrators may not be aware that they can enforce security policies, control downloads, and circumvent Mac users’ end runs. Centrify DirectControl for Mac OS X addresses these needs by joining Mac systems to the Active Directory domain, enabling centralized authentication and access control, along with automated security and configuration management.
