Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is undergoing a significant transformation, aiming to transition all of its on-premises IT infrastructure products to cloud-based as-a-service offerings by 2022. This move is driven by increasing customer demand for cloud-based services. In 2019, HPE introduced GreenLake Central, a sub-brand that delivers consumption-based IT services, enabling customers to build a seamless experience between their public and private clouds. However, the GreenLake Central platform has significant identity requirements, such as the need to securely federate and authenticate various user types including administrators, support teams, customers, and partners—all within a single user interface. To meet these identity requirements, HPE needed an identity and access management (IAM) partner to help integrate enterprise identities and secure APIs.
HPE partnered with Okta to provide unified IAM for its advanced GreenLake Central platform. The company deployed a hub and spoke identity architecture with one Okta organization per HPE customer. This setup enables Okta’s full capabilities within every tenant and allows HPE to customize tenants as needed for different user groups. When customers log in to GreenLake Central, they’re routed through a specific Okta organization to their identity provider, then issued an access token. Okta Single Sign-On offers integrations with authentication and authorization frameworks such as SAML,OAuth, and OIDC, as well as integrates with Active Directory. Okta also provides HPE with tailored services to support specific employee tenants. HPE uses Okta Hooks to empower its IT team to easily integrate systems with custom code on any cloud, hybrid, or on-prem infrastructure.
