IT pros have long utilized Active Directory® to leverage Group Policy Objects (GPOs) on Windows devices. But Mac® and Linux® devices could not be easily managed from one ‘pane of glass’ – until now, that is.
Microsoft® Active Directory only focused on Windows policies and left Mac and Linux device management up to IT admins. For IT organizations that want to centrally manage their systems, that presents a major challenge.

Directory-as-a-Service®, enables management of devices across all three major platforms from a single console. Establish better security controls and policies, all remotely, no matter where your users’ systems are. Think of this approach as a way to have cross-platform GPO-like capabilities.
