  • PistolStar Touts Deployments of Password Software

    July 27, 2010 Alex Woodie

    The folks at Masters Gallery Foods don’t have to worry about forgotten passwords as much now that the company has deployed PistolStar‘s Password Power software to govern access to its iSeries server. Masters was among four new customers the New Hampshire software company recently touted.

    Masters Gallery Foods is a Wisconsin-based cheese packaging company. The 300-person company bags and ships all types of cheese products made by its suppliers, ranging from small 4 ounce retail “shreds” up to 640-pound blocks of American style cheese (plus soft Italian style cheese for industrial use).

    Like many companies in the food business, Masters uses an iSeries-based inventory management system to keep track of its product. And like almost everybody on the planet, the company’s employees, evidently, had trouble remembering their passwords, because it recently deployed the Password Power product from PistolStar.

    Password Power provides single sign-on capabilities to users working with a range of applications and platforms. The product utilizes Microsoft Active Directory and either the Kerberos or NTLN (NT LAN Manager) authentication protocol to streamline the sign-on process for end users while keeping security mechanisms in place. Plug-ins are available for IBM i (i5/OS and OS/400), Windows, Domino, Sametime, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP environments, among others.

    In Masters’ case, the company extended Password Power to its iSeries server, and also increased the functionality of its password quality plug-in for Active Directory, PistolStar says.

    Another PistolStar customer, the Allianz Suisse, recently deployed a two-factor authentication system that uses smartcards and Password Power to streamline the sign-on process, the vendor says.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server

    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more
