Micro Focus released Micro Focus AD Bridge 2.0, offering IT administrators the ability to extend Active Directory controls from on-premises resources, including Windows and Linux devices to the cloud - a solution not previously offered in the marketplace.

With AD Bridge 2.0, organizations can leverage existing infrastructure authentication, security as well as policy, in order to simplify the migration of on-premises Linux Active Directory to the cloud, resulting in fully secured and managed Linux virtual machines in the cloud.

As Linux continues its rise to a more dominate cloud deployment solution, it's critical for organizations that are adopting cloud based-solutions like Azure and Office 365 to implement stricter policy-level controls to cloud-based Linux and Windows systems, providing consistency and peace of mind, while also delivering simplified compliance.

Linux cloud agent - enables the ability to extend on-premises AD management capabilities to cloud-based Linux resources, improving security and reducing the number of unmanaged identities.

"Partnering with Micro Focus on AD Bridge 2.0 provides a real solution that unifies Windows and Linux resources and centrally manages them from Active Directory."
