Businesses today are moving away from on-prem authentication servers and user management, to authentication over the cloud. This is a feature that is available to all organizations, both large and small.

As a matter of fact, organizations are choosing to get rid of on-premise servers and user management completely because of the added time required for daily server management.

Does your business have multiple servers configured that require a central authentication mechanism? An active cloud directory is the one-stop solution your organization may desperately need. PSS has migrated a multitude of clients over to an Azure active directory. Our team of experts will remove the stress of migration with great care by making the process smooth and easy to ensure all user profiles, file sharing, domain policies and more migrate safely and completely.

With Azure Active Directory Domain Services you can:

Use managed domain services on Azure

Use Azure Active Directory Domain Services to connect Azure virtual machines to a domain, without having to deploy domain controllers. Sign in to these virtual machines using their corporate Azure Active Directory credentials and seamlessly access resources. Use Group Policy to more securely administer domain-joined virtual machines—a familiar way to apply and enforce security baselines on all of your Azure virtual machines.

Migrate on-premises apps to Azure with no identity worries

Take advantage of Azure Active Directory Domain Services features like domain join, LDAP, NT LAN Manager (NTLM), and Kerberos authentication, which are widely used in enterprises. Migrate legacy directory-aware applications running on-premises to Azure, without having to worry about identity requirements. On Linux and Windows Server virtual machines on Azure, easily deploy line-of-business applications. You don’t have to deploy domain controllers as Azure virtual machines or use a VPN connection back to your identity infrastructure.

Deploy in minutes with enterprise-grade performance

Use the Azure portal to quickly enable Azure Active Directory Domain Services for your Azure AD tenant. Select your performance level and take advantage of enterprise-grade features such as resource forests and daily backups.

Get enterprise scale and SLA

Azure Active Directory Domain Services gives you enterprise-grade scale and reliability. It’s a highly available service hosted in globally distributed data centers.

Handle traditional directory-aware apps along with SaaS apps

Azure Active Directory, the identity and access management cloud solution for your employees, partners, and consumers, supports your traditional directory-aware apps alongside your modern cloud apps.
