Many identity products on the market today were developed for use within the enterprise, so when these products are applied to cloud services they quickly show their wear. IT organizations often strain to retrofit products that were built for enterprise use to support the current “consumerized” model. Nevertheless, the emerging cloud fabric must contain some parts old and new, and in the hands of the right designer, these existing technologies offer a solid basis for delivering scalable, multi-tenant cloud services. In this presentation, Mike Neuenschwander, CEO for iC Consult Americas, contrasts use cases for identity in cloud and enterprise deployments, and offers ideas on how to intertwine enterprise and cloud identity systems in the emerging cloud fabric.
