Netscape Directory Server provides the service-ready infrastructure that enables Ford to simplify administration and reduce the cost of ownership for one of the industry's most advanced extranets. With more than 200,000 directory entries for people and other resources stored in a central directory, Ford's extranet system is one of the largest directory deployments to date. Ford has found that directory performance is crucial to the successful deployment of its extranet applications, with even small degradations in directory performance resulting in unusable applications. Netscape Directory Server solves this problem for Ford by providing the high levels of performance and reliability that Ford requires. "As a leader and innovator in the automotive industry, Ford is taking the idea of a corporate extranet to the next level by delivering highly-scalable extranet applications to suppliers around the world," said John Paul, senior vice president and general manager of Netscape's Server Products Division. "By leveraging the performance and scalability of Netscape Directory Server, Ford is able to deliver these applications as Internet-based services that are more reliable and lower in cost than was previously possible." Netscape Mission Control provides real-time directory and security services that enable centralized, low-cost management of a myriad of Internet applications deployed by Enterprise Service Providers (ESPs) and independent software companies. Mission Control's service-ready infrastructure is ideal for companies competing in the Net economy where high performance, scalability, 24x7 reliability and strong security that extends outside the enterprise are critical for success.
