NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Radiant Logic, the market leader for virtual directory technology, will host a webinar on Thursday, Oct. 21 from 8am – 9am PST featuring Gartner to discuss the role of identity and context virtualization in data clouds. Leading the webinar is Michel Prompt, CEO of Radiant Logic, with featured speaker Lyn Robison, research director for Burton Group's Data Management Strategies group within Gartner Research.

Data and application silos are everywhere—and they’re here to stay. But such process fragmentation results in multiple search and coordination costs, reducing productivity and impeding the emergence of more innovative products and services.

Based on a newly published report by Gartner’s Lyn Robison titled “Data Clouds: One Small Step for IT, One Giant Leap for Modern Enterprises,” a data cloud is a new IT concept that puts the full power of an enterprise’s computer-based information into the hands of the people who carry out its mission. Data clouds liberate information from application silos and make it appropriately accessible to the businesspeople who need it. Forward-thinking enterprises are already implementing data clouds, and the technologies to build them are readily available. Data clouds can be implemented in a step-by-step, cost-effective manner, using a small collection of innovative tools and techniques.

In this webinar, Prompt and Robison will discuss what are data clouds, and how they dramatically reduce the coordination and search costs resulting from data silos. They will also cover:

Why identity and context virtualization is key to ensuring security and privacy for a data cloud
How to extract and represent context and identity out of data silos
Why sharing identity and distributed context will enable smart and secure context-aware services
