The latest release of the enStratus Cloud Computing Management Solution provides major enhancements in the areas of user management, financial management, and alerting, as well as a new staging environment for customers to test applications. enStratus provides a cross-cloud management solution delivering governance for the cloud. The latest release is available immediately and includes the following new features:

- Role-based Security - With enStratus, customers can now define custom roles with discreet levels of permissions. Users can be assigned to groups to provision or manage cloud resources which meets their internal security policy requirements. This feature is a major benefit for organizations, systems integrators or agencies that have multiple people working on a project with different level of required access.

- Financial Controls - With enStratus, customers can now assign users to billing codes and track cloud resource usage. This makes tracking of cloud billing across internal and external projects much easier for marketing agencies, systems integrators and enterprises.

- Firewall and Alerting Enhancements - To meet unique needs of customers, enStratus now provides configurable alert thresholds as well as alerting on any changes to firewall rules

- SAML 2.0 Integration (Beta) - Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based authentication and authorization standard. enStratus now supports SAML 2.0 integration which will allow companies to extend their security policies into cloud-deployed solutions.

- Staging Environment - enStratus has deployed a new staging environment for customers to test applications or review new enStratus features in a non-production environment...
