CA GRC Manager Architecture
CA GRC Manager Architecture: Substantially reduce the cost and complexity of integration
CA GRC Manager offers proven scalability, extensive configurability, third-party application interfaces, global availability and open platform support. We can handle enterprise-wide customer installations with tens of thousands of users spanning dozens of countries.
Proven scalability
CA GRC Manager can be deployed in a clustered configuration to offer the highest possible levels of scalability, performance and availability. System administration includes an intuitive, web-based console to centralize the configuration and management of clusters within multiple sites. CA GRC Manager also supports horizontal scaling by replicating multiple services in a cluster.
Global availability
CA GRC Manager allows all users to have access to information, no matter where they are located, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
- Multilingual Unicode support allows users to work in their native language and locale.
- Time-zone support allows users to receive all events and notifications in their local time.
- HTML compression dramatically reduces bandwidth requirements for remote and mobile access using low-bandwidth leased lines, PDAs and notebook computers.
Security
CA GRC Manager protects your company's sensitive risk, compliance and audit information. Security administration is based on roles, groups and organizational breakdown structures (OBS), ensuring flexible policies that meet your needs. Combined with SSL-encrypted connections and LDAP authentication and authorization, CA GRC Manager makes security management a far less tedious and time-consuming process and your users benefit from a single sign-on that gives them all of their access privileges.
Interoperability
CA GRC Manager was built from the ground up to provide the standards-based services required to deliver scalable and reliable deployments and web services. It is portable across heterogeneous platforms and interoperable with other J2EE-compliant applications. An ultra-thin web client eliminates desktop maintenance headaches, and an integrated data mart facilitates rapid reporting without negatively impacting the performance of day-to-day system use.
Open application integration
Organizations can readily combine the power of CA GRC Manager with legacy systems using XML Open Gateway (XOG) service. XOG is a comprehensive set of XML and Java-based APIs and supports Enterprise Application Integration products through infrastructure middleware. XOG can also ensure data integrity through the enforcement of business rules. This flexible approach means that even major system updates have minimal impact on integration.
Platform neutrality
CA GRC Manager runs on industry-leading operating systems (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux and Windows), relational databases (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i) and application servers (BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere) so you can choose the most cost-effective platform and leverage existing resources and standards.
