Amazon
The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a highly popular web service platform that IT organizations, application developers and web entreneurs are using to stand up everything from a single internal test system to massive web server farms. Amazon EC2 gives organizations the ability to launch and terminate server instances on demand and pay only modest hourly rental fees for active servers.
The Centrify Cloud Tools include several Centrify-Enabled Amazon Machine Images (AMI) that have been configured for automatic lock down at the moment when they are launched. Our free Centrify Express handles the tasks of automatically joining a new server instance to your enterprise Active Directory domain and locking down access to the root account. These Centrify AMIs are provided at no charge to Amazon EC2 users; however, standard Amazon virtual machine charges will apply.

Apple
Because Macs are deployed predominantly as desktops, Centrify has collaborated extensively with Apple and with customers on a solution that enables OS X systems to be managed easily and transparently within an Active Directory infrastructure. Centrify DirectControl is the first and most robust solution that extends Active Directory Group Policy management to Mac OS X, enabling Windows-based administrators to centrally apply security and configuration policies to their entire Mac deployment as easily as they can today with Windows systems. DirectControl delivers Group Policy objects that can require a screensaver lock after a specified period of inactivity, require a password to unlock the screensaver, prevent Internet sharing, constrain which applications are accessible to end-users, and much more. DirectControl for Mac OS X, SmartCard Login Option, enables Mac OS X users to join Microsoft Active Directory environments that require two-factor authentication via smart cards. DirectControl’s unified solution architecture for UNIX and Linux systems also enables organizations to adopt a single solution for Active Directory integration, enabling Macs to take their place as an enterprise resource.
