Virtual Identity Server (VIS) for Office 365 is a comprehensive identity federation solution that simplifies and accelerates Office 365 adoption for organizations with complex identity environments. It supports multi-forest Active Directory (AD), non-routable domains, and multiple UPN suffixes, enabling seamless claims-based authentication, two-factor authentication, and denial-of-service (DoS) protection. VIS eliminates the need for forest trusts and schema extensions, offering a fast, secure, and scalable path to the cloud.
