Reference Architectures

Multi-Tenant

Multi-Tenant architecture serves multiple organizations or business units through shared infrastructure with logical isolation. Tenants share compute, storage, and network resources while maintaining separation.

Tenant A ---> Shared Infrastructure ---> Servers A
Tenant B ---> (with isolation)      ---> Servers B

Multiple tenants share infrastructure components. Isolation mechanisms prevent cross-tenant access.

Characteristics

Multi-Tenant architecture suits platform providers and enterprises with separation requirements. Isolation becomes the paramount concern. A failure of tenant isolation exposes one tenant's data to another.

Required certification profile

Multi-Tenant deployments require Critical profile certification. The potential for cross-tenant data exposure demands the highest assurance level.
