Introduction
With the introduction of the Next Novell, Novell has introduced four new business units called Ngage, exteNd, Nterprise, and Nsure. If you would like more information these, see http://www.novell.com. This course is going to focus on the Nsure platform, which is highlighted by Secure Identity Management or SIM for short. SIM solves a key business problem CIOs of organizations today face: How do I cost-effectively deliver real-time, role-based resources to my distributed workforce, partners, and customers from any location - wired or wireless - yet keep my systems safe? Developing solutions with SIM products provides you with flexibility and gives you the agility needed to keep pace with tomorrow's dynamic, service oriented system environment.
Novell provides several products which are aimed at fulfilling the mission of SIM. We discuss each of them in the following table.
