Multitenancy can describe hardware or software architectures in which multiple systems, applications, or data from different organizations are hosted on the same physical hardware. This differs from single-tenancy, in which a server runs only one instance of an operating system and application. A multitenant cloud architecture describes a single cloud instance and infrastructure purpose-built to support multiple customers. Multitenant cloud architecture enables customers, or ‘tenants,’ to share computing resources efficiently in a public or private cloud while securely scaling to meet increasing demand.
