multi-tenancy
An architecture in which a single instance of software serves multiple customers (tenants), providing logical isolation, resource sharing, and cost efficiency.
Multi-tenancy is a software architecture that allows a single instance of an application to serve multiple customers, known as tenants. Each tenant’s data and configurations are logically isolated, ensuring privacy and security, while sharing underlying resources such as compute, storage, and networking.
Multi-tenancy maximizes resource utilization, reduces operational costs, and simplifies maintenance by centralizing updates and management. It is widely used in cloud services, SaaS platforms, and AI cloud solutions to deliver scalable and cost-effective offerings to diverse user bases.
Effective multi-tenancy requires robust access controls, monitoring, and resource allocation mechanisms to maintain performance and security across tenants.
