Advantages of Virtual Directories
Virtual Directories:
- Enable faster deployment because users do not need to add and sync additional application-specific data sources
- Leverage existing identity infrastructure and security investments to deploy new services
- Deliver high availability of data sources
- Provide application-specific views of identity data which can help avoid the need to develop a master enterprise schema
- Allow a single view of identity data without violating internal or external regulations governing identity data
- Act as identity firewalls by preventing denial-of-service attacks on the primary data-stores and providing further security on access to sensitive data
- Can reflect changes made to authoritative sources in real-time
- Present a unified virtual view of user information from multiple systems so that it appears to reside in a single system
- Can secure all backend storage locations with a single security policy

Famous quotes containing the words advantages of, advantages and/or virtual:
“To become aware in time when young of the advantages of age; to maintain the advantages of youth in old age: both are pure fortune.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot; and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
