RSA Security Outperforms The Competition
RSA Security Inc, a trusted name in e-security, recently announced that RSA
ClearTrust software, an award-winning web access management solution,
significantly outperformed competitive web access management products in a
recent independent benchmarking study by Mindcraft, a leading software testing
lab and developer of the AuthMark Benchmark. Based on comparisons with other
Mindcraft benchmarking studies, RSA ClearTrust software performed 99 percent
faster than Netegrity SiteMinder software and 110 percent faster than Oblix
NetPoint software(1). These results provide independent proof points to the
superior performance and scalability of RSA ClearTrust software, helping to
ensure that an organization's identity infrastructure will keep pace with
their growing e- business activity.
"RSA ClearTrust 5.0.1 software delivered the highest Login and Extranet
performance per Authorization/Policy Server CPU that we've measured," said
Bruce Weiner, president of Mindcraft. "RSA ClearTrust software sets a new
Extranet performance standard for policy server-based identity and access
management products. It achieved 60,144 Logins per minute and 221,980 Extranet
operations per minute, per Authorization Server CPU."
As organizations continue to move vital business processes to the web,
performance and scalability have become mandatory enablers of their e-business
infrastructures. Mindcraft develops state-of-the-art testing to provide the
industry with independent benchmarking of such criteria. Mindcraft's AuthMark
Benchmark, which tests authentication and authorization performance for Web
access management products, is relied upon by organizations to select from
competing solutions.
"Customers need to know that their identity and access management
infrastructure will perform and scale in line with their e-business
requirements - today and in the future," said Joe Uniejewski, senior vice
president, Web Access Management division at RSA Security. "This independent,
third-party review demonstrates that RSA ClearTrust software outperforms the
competition in performance and scalability. That means our customers can rest
assured that an investment in this solution is an investment in the success of
their e-business."
