Key Pair Introduces New Products

Key Pair Technologies announced a family of products designed to address the
need for increasingly tighter and more integrated security solutions to support
building and operating public and private clouds. Each product in the family is
optimized to address the differing needs of customers who are planning to
leverage cloud computing to achieve their business objectives.

Key Pair unveils the following products to address the security gaps and
challenges in migrating to a cloud environment:

• Key Pair Cloud Security -SME edition: Addresses Small and Medium Business
  (SMB) and Enterprise (SME) market segments. As a drop-ship box/soft appliance
  with High Availability (HA), the product provides key features such as Web and
  host single sign-on (Web SSO and Host SSO), SAML 2.0 based federated
  authentication, pre-integrated adapters for credential store/authentication,
  including AD/LDAP, RADIUS, Kerberos-KDC and ODBC, as well as, agentless
  application integration. The product optionally supports Firewall for
  infrastructure security, access policy enforcement and multi-factor
  authentication with built-in Mobile OTP server and smart phone client.
• Key Pair Cloud Manager-Enterprise edition: Designed to enable, secure and
  manage enterprise private clouds on virtual platforms. As a soft appliance
  with multiple fast path processing engines, the product provides virtualized,

  authorization to enable multi-tenancy, in-line policy enforcement and
  application SSO. Included are interfaces to external policy management
  servers, resource management, monitoring and full auditing and compliance
  capability.

  Data Center edition extends the Enterprise edition, to address the specific
  needs of commercial datacenters including on demand access to computing
  resources, dynamic provisioning, allocation and pooling of resources, remote
  monitoring and application metering with the level of access control security
  needed for deployments in cloud. With these key features the product is
  tailored for 'pay-as-you-go' deployment models.

"Our offers SAML assertion with agent less application integration in a
drop-ship, zero-day deployment mode at a speed approaching 10x of other
competing products. The Key Pair enterprise solution has solved a problem
challenging many of today's leading IT organizations of seamlessly enforcing
centralized security policies in virtual environments. And with an eye to the
evolution of infrastructure as a service, the Key Pair Data Center solution
enables datacenters to host secure private clouds on a pay-as-you-go basis,"
