Building Agile Data Centers

IT and application architectures have changed significantly in the past decade as cloud, big data, and mobile computing have disrupted business processes and applications. Cloud computing offers a particularly attractive value proposition: It gives organizations of all sizes the ability to leverage IT resources as needed.

When data center investment is a concern or IT is an enabler but not a core business, cloud-based services can allow organizations to scale effectively via hosted applications, or infrastructure-as-a-service. Organizations also are building their own next-generation data center infrastructure in order to benefit from the cost-efficiencies, flexibility, and scale that a cloud provides.

Okta Directory Integration – An Architectural Overview

This May 2016 Forrester report explores a landscape in which organizations in every industry are moving from cloud adoption to cloud creation and participation.

For most companies, Active Directory (AD) or LDAP and plays the central role in coordinating identity and access management policies. Directory integration typically serves as a "source of truth" for user identities, and it provides access control to on-premises resources such as networks, file servers, and web applications. A byproduct of the transition to cloud applications is the proliferation of separate user stores; each cloud application typically is rolled out independently and therefore has its own unique database of user credentials.

Read this whitepaper to learn how Okta eliminates the pitfalls that come with trying to build and manage multiple on-premises active directory integrations yourself.

Why Choose Okta vs. ADFS?

You're moving towards Office 365 and you want true single sign-on for users. You also want to ensure authentication is directly tied back to the policies and user status in Active Directory. With Okta's lightweight agent, you can minimize your on-prem footprint as you move to the cloud. Zero servers and on-prem software to deploy, update and manage means lower TCO.
