CA Directory

CA Directory is a distributed directory for online applications. The CCS uses CA Directory to host the classification cache.

What is CA Directory?

CA Directory is a distributed directory that delivers high availability, reliability, scalability and performance. The CCS uses CA Directory to provide a better user experience and stronger security without incurring high hardware costs.

What Business and Security Challenges Does It Meet?

The performance limitations of traditional directories restrict applications to simple searches unless the power of the underlying central server has been increased. By contrast, the high performance of CA Directory enables applications to meet an organization's business and security needs without investing in expensive hardware.

What Features Does It offer?

CA Directory provides ultra high-speed performance for both read and write operations plus transparent distribution and replication. Unlike common LDAP servers which cannot efficiently communicate with each other, CA Directory is architected to perform and scale in a distributed environment with significantly reduced hardware costs.
