Organizations and tenants

It’s worth pausing here to point out that the Open Horizon Management Hub is designed to be multi-tenant – that is, the same Hub can support thousands of separate organizations to independently manage their own set of Edge nodes. This is useful in a large enterprise that has many different departments or divisions with different operational responsibilities – for example, one responsible for stores, another for warehouses, another for logistics, and so forth, each with its own set of Edge devices and servers.

This is also a basic prerequisite to qualify as a cloud-native service. Several organizations have indicated interest in provisioning an Open Horizon Management Hub in a cloud infrastructure and offering it as a subscription service.
