New Shibboleth Software Annual Support and Maintenance Service Launched

May 4, 2009 - PRLog -- 9STAR RESEARCH experience has shown that Shibboleth software has grown in popularity and deployments worldwide in academic, educational, government, financial, energy, healthcare, hospitality and commercial markets. Most customers deploy the Shibboleth software from Internet2 for federated access, authentication and single sign-on. Shibboleth is deployed either as an Identity Provider or Service Provider or both.

Commercial grade, standard, Shibboleth software annual support and maintenance service has been missing from the market all these years. Now 9STAR RESEARCH is stepping up and taking the lead to fill this void and provide quality, reliable and consistent technical support and maintenance for Shibboleth installations worldwide.

The Shibboleth annual support and maintenance service from 9STAR RESEARCH is available to all new and existing enterprise customers who already have a functioning Shibboleth Identity Provider and/or Service Provider infrastructure in place.

9STAR RESEARCH provides a number of products and services that are enabled for Shibboleth. Therefore it is a natural extension for 9STAR RESEARCH to provide such a support and maintenance service offering. A number of annual support plans are now available from 9STAR RESEARCH for Shibboleth customers who can sign up for these plans and get support and maintenance service for their Shibboleth infrastructure. The 9STAR RESEARCH Shibboleth Support team acts as an extension to customer's Shibboleth Identity Provider and Service Provider team and provides steady reliable Shibboleth services on-demand.
