How does Forefront scale on an enterprise level 3000+ concurent users?
Does it support SAML 2.0 for federated security?
What is the performance benchmarks in a SOA environment.
I am interested in the MS Forefront product and its integration feasibility in a SOA environment.
It would be nice to post the presentations of the events as a replay or as a pdf doc.
It is a great exposure to the Microsoft security product in the GULF area.
In general it is a great event that brings that customers and partners
together.

Hi Simon,
Forefront is a “suite” of products that ranges from edge to servers to endpoints.
We have Active Directory Federated Services for federation. Some links that will be useful:
