“…Enabling Multi-Tenancy at Data Layer: The main challenge in multi-tenancy is to add tenant information into the data in a way that every piece of information can be precisely traced back to an individual tenant. Once this has been achieved, there are certain patterns and practices related to security, resource isolation, extensibility and scalability that need to be followed to enable the key characteristics of multi-tenant enabled applications [2,5]. Security patterns in multi-tenancy fundamentally pertain to filtering, permission and access control and encryption [2,11].…”

Abstract-Multi-tenancy is a relatively new software architecture principle in the realm of the Software as a Service (SaaS) business model. It allows to make full use of the economy of scale, as multiple customers -"tenants" -share the same application and database instance. All the while, the tenants enjoy a highly configurable application, making it appear that the application is deployed on a dedicated server. The major benefits of multi-tenancy are increased utilization of hardware resources and improved ease of maintenance, resulting in lower overall application costs, making the technology attractive for service providers targeting small and medium enterprises (SME). Therefore, migrating existing single-tenant to multi-tenant applications can be interesting for SaaS software companies. In this paper we report on our experiences with reengineering an existing industrial, single-tenant software system into a multitenant one using a lightweight reengineering approach.

Abstract-A multi-tenant software application is a special type of highly scalable, hosted software, in which the application and its infrastructure are shared among multiple tenants to save development and maintenance costs. The limited understanding of the underlying architectural concepts still prevents many software architects from designing such a system. Existing documentation on multi-tenant software architectures is either technology-specific or database-centric. A more technology-independent perspective is required to enable wide-spread adoption of multi-tenant architectures. We propose the SPOSAD architectural style, which describes the components, connectors, and data elements of a multi-tenant architecture as well as constraints imposed on these elements. This paper describes the benefits of a such an architecture and the trade-offs for the related design decisions. To evaluate our proposal, we illustrate how concepts of the style help to make current Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environments, such as Force.com, Windows Azure, and Google App Engine scalable and customizable.
