This document discusses using Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 to manage identity and access for a private cloud.
It notes that security is the top concern for cloud adoption. FIM can help by providing a common identity platform across the private cloud, enabling single sign-on and managing access at the group level.
FIM centralizes identity management and synchronization to Active Directory. This allows for self-service access management, delegation of administration, and integration of on-premises and cloud-based applications and resources using a single identity store.
