/PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent

analysis of the software license management (LM) market, Frost & Sullivan

recognizes SafeNet, Inc. with the 2011 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for

Product Line Strategy. SafeNet accounts for more than half of the software LM

market today. This award recognizes the depth and breadth of the company's

Sentinel suite in a market that favors one-stop vendors.

The Sentinel suite comprises four elements. The first is the Sentinel HASP,

which provides LM for desktop and enterprise applications, enforced through

software or using dongles. It includes a set of back-office integration and

reporting tools, application analytics and reporting, and support for

virtualization.

The second component, the Sentinel RMS, is a full-fledged LM platform that

enables power users to implement customized business models. It supports a

broad range of enterprise use cases in a scalable and reliable manner. For

entitlement management, Sentinel RMS integrates out of the box with Sentinel

EMS, a centralized, Web-based entitlement management platform.

Sentinel EMS helps manage and automate all licensing activity including

entitlement generation, registration, activation, and license distribution. EMS

provides the critical functionality of integrating the independent software

vendor's (ISV's) back office systems with their one or many software LM

system(s). SafeNet EMS integrates cleanly into the back-office, providing a

consistent interface for all types of protected products (desktop, embedded or

services) across various types of deployments (hardware or software locking,

on-premise, or software as a service (SaaS)).

The fourth component is the cloud-based Sentinel Cloud, which is the only

cloud-based license management solution available today for SaaS and on-

premise software vendors looking to monetize all or a portion of their software

portfolio as a service. Sentinel Cloud is designed to serve the fast-growing SaaS

segment, which is gaining momentum as a competing or complementary

offering to traditional on-premise software applications. It offers a deep set of

features and aids a wide set of use cases, giving it a competitive edge and

solving urgent business needs for software vendors. SafeNet also has a well

established consulting and professional services arm to help larger publishers

with planning and implementation of LM. As an example of synergy across

Sentinel suite components, the hosted version of Sentinel EMS is a key

component of Sentinel Cloud.
