abstract:Multitenancy refers to a principle in software architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client-organizations (tenants). Multitenancy contrasts with multi-instance architectures where separate software instances (or hardware systems) operate on behalf of different client organizations.
Public cloud platforms achieve a lower cost basis by leveraging commodity infrastructure and economies of scale that come through multitenancy, automation, and standardization, he writes in a new post and report.
