ForgeRock Inc., a pioneer of open source identity and access management (IAM) through its Open Identity Stack, today announced its ForgeRock Sun Replacement Program, the company’s complete upgrade and migration program to help organizations strategically plan a replacement for their Sun IAM deployment. In light of Oracle’s announcement regarding support for several Sun IAM products, thousands of companies faced either a possible full rip and replace of their IAM infrastructure, or a potentially expensive subscription to Oracle’s “Life-Time Support”—until now. Through the Sun Replacement Program, ForgeRock provides a viable alternative, giving organizations the opportunity to continue building next-generation features on top of their existing IAM investment with a cost-effective, off-the-shelf product.
ForgeRock Open Identity Stack (OIS) is built on Sun IAM source code, enabling ForgeRock to offer Sun customers a straightforward upgrade process, including direct upgrade from portions of the Sun portfolio to ForgeRock products. Standardizing on the ForgeRock platform not only helps organizations continue their Sun investment, but also strongly positions them for future IAM requirements around cloud, social, mobile and SaaS applications.
ForgeRock’s Sun Replacement Assessment helps customers get the replacement process started by examining their current IAM architecture and business processes. Once the assessment is complete, customers receive recommendations that can be used for internal planning and budgeting.
