Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a popular directory service for the administration of users, devices and services in a company network and has increased in functionality since its launch but also in complexity.

Conceptual design, setup, administration and maintenance of an AD infrastructure requires a high degree of knowledge and ties up considerable staff resources. It also requires investments in hardware and software which in part are written off over many years.

Simply use our Managed Active Directory Service instead. We provide you with the necessary hardware, install and configure all components and services, monitor and optimize operations and help users to sort out problems with our second-level support.

Furthermore, we undertake the control and management of administrative accounts and accesses for you. The security settings and administration of accesses to network resources such as files or printers are always implemented under consideration of best practice recommendations from the manufacturers and security organizations such as BSI, CERT or CIS and are audited on an ongoing basis.

Security is guaranteed by a continuous patch management as well as strong authentication protocols such as Kerberos and secure network connections via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security).

We also undertake the administration of users, security groups or group guidelines for you. Users can reset their passwords comfortably and independently via our self-service portal.

Flexibility is also guaranteed by our pricing model which is based on your actual needs.
