I am listening to

Scott McNealy announce the

acquisition of

StorageTek by

Sun. In his opening remarks, he spoke of Sun’s ability to offer Secure Information Lifecyle Management (ILM), enabled by Sun Products such as Identity Manager, Directory Server, Access Manager and Java Card. He states in the press release that Sun will now have the “the most comprehensive data and identity management solutions.” The press release states further, “Sun will be well-positioned to help customers better manage their growing privacy, security, compliance and policy requirements.”

In the Q&A session, Jonathan Schwartz reinforced this position by saying that using Identity and Access Management products to enable compliance is the “hottest ticket in town.”

Leveraging Identity Management technology to enhance security of the information life cycle is a compelling notion. I look forward to seeing this unfold.

Go Sun!
