Easily Customize Your Directory to Reflect Your Organization
Merges and Divisions. When departments split or consolidate, you can reflect these changes in eDirectory's tree structure. A single drag-and-drop operation painlessly rearranges the structure of the tree and enables new administrative rights to be assigned if needed. eDirectory 8.5 does not place many limitations on the degree of granularity you can use in merging or dividing, nor does it require that the entire network be reconstructed or rebooted every time you need to make major changes. Tools also exist to merge trees as well.
Strategically Placed Resources. The hierarchical structure of eDirectory 8.5 enables network supervisors to arrange network resources in the directory tree according to the way they are used. With resources placed near the users who access them, network traffic across WAN links decreases.
