The world’s leading independent identity
platform delivers unprecedented global reliability for millions of
remote workers and consumers
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of
identity for the enterprise, today announced a major milestone in
cloud reliability and uptime, offering 99.99% uptime to all
customers in every region of the world at no additional cost.
Through its distributed and highly available cloud architecture,
now Okta customers of every size – whether free developer
instances, up to the largest enterprises – can now count on
unparalleled reliability and nearly zero planned downtime. This
further deepens Okta’s capability to enable anyone to securely use
any technology.
Virtually overnight, digital transformation has accelerated
around the world due to COVID-19. Workforces are now relying on the
cloud to maintain operations while consumers are turning to digital
experiences to interact with their favorite products and services.
Adobe’s 2020 Digital Economy Index indicates e-commerce levels from
April and May 2020 were higher than digital spending from the 2019
holiday season. This trend is only expected to continue during the
pandemic in addition to the fading concept of working within the
confines of a traditional office. According
to Gartner, 74% of CFOs intend to shift at least some of
their workforce to remote positions permanently. This new
dependency has put the reliability, scalability, and security of
technology to the test, making the consequences of cybercrime or
downtime, planned or unplanned, catastrophic to both productivity
and revenue.
“We’ve laid the foundation for a new standard of reliability
across the cloud industry not only for the betterment of our
customers, but any organization pursuing digital transformation,”
said Todd McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Okta.
“Identity is critical to how organizations operate daily and engage
with their customers, and we have always viewed the Okta Identity
Cloud’s reliability as a tremendous asset for our customers. Now
more than ever, organizations need greater assurances that the
technologies powering their businesses and customer experiences
will not be compromised. That’s why moving forward, every single
Okta customer can benefit from a cloud infrastructure designed to
offer zero downtime.”
Okta’s global multi-tenant infrastructure is designed to deliver
performance and trusted security at scale. The Okta Identity Cloud
is powered by an extremely resilient architecture stack, a focus on
continuous innovation, and highly responsive and detailed service
monitoring to address any issues, all with zero downtime
maintenance. This world-class infrastructure offers 99.99% uptime
for all customers – enabling IT, security, and development teams
everywhere to serve the needs of their organizations and customer
bases.
“Okta is the identity company that stands for trust and that
starts with the reliability of our technology,” said Hector
Aguilar, President of Technology, Okta. “This is why we’ve set an
aggressively high bar for availability and are enabling our
customers with 99.99% uptime. This unprecedented capability, built
into every layer of our infrastructure, has resulted in our
industry-leading track record of being ‘Always On.’ We know how
critical service reliability is to our customers across the world
creating seamless and secure identity experiences and we’re
committed to setting the industry standard.”
“More than 10,000 students and faculty rely on Seton Hall for
their personal and academic development,” said Paul Fisher,
Associate Chief Information Officer, Seton Hall University. “When
COVID-19 hit, we quickly deployed a remote-first learning
environment powered by advanced technologies we had in place prior
to the pandemic. Okta’s highly reliable and secure identity
platform powers secure access to digital learning experiences that
our students and educators depend on now more than ever.”
