What is Multi-tenancy?
Multi-tenancy is a software architecture that allows multiple tenants or users to share the same computing resources, while keeping their data completely isolated from each other. Imagine a large apartment building with multiple units, where each unit is occupied by a different tenant. In this analogy, the building represents the software application, and each unit represents a separate user or tenant. Multi-tenancy allows these tenants to coexist and use the building (application) independently, without any interference or access to each other’s apartments (data). This concept has become particularly important in cloud computing, where resources are shared among multiple users, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
By sharing infrastructure and resources among multiple tenants, organizations can reduce their hardware and software expenses, as well as lower their overall IT management costs. Additionally, multi-tenancy promotes scalability, allowing businesses to easily expand their operations without the need for extensive infrastructure investments. Another benefit is enhanced security. With multi-tenancy, each tenant’s data is logically separated from others, minimizing the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
