Penrose: CA eTrust DS 8.1 Integration

Aside manageability and robustness, companies are buying an LDAP server for its performance. A directory server traditionally is used as a centralized lookup service, or an identity backbone. With the recent release, we are now marrying the performance of commercial LDAP server with the versatility of a virtual directory by way of persistent cache feature. The basic concept of persistent cache is quite simple. By storing the cached entries in a disk-based mechanism, those entries will survive a sudden-loss of power (recycle). Since we can store those entries on any LDAP or database servers, it also gains an unlimited storage capacity.
