What is a multi-tenant system?
According to wikipedia, "Multitenancy refers to a principle in software architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client organizations (tenants)".
Which means that a single software instance runs on a single server can be shared between multiple client organizations or tenants. This is somewhat different Virtual software systems in which each organization gets a piece of their own (virtual) software (or hardware) resources.
This concept is really helpful in cloud computing architecture where we use the common resources by different clients.
How multi-tenancy can save your Enterprise IT?
In a multitenancy environment, multiple customers share the same application, running on the same operating system, on the same hardware, with the same data-storage mechanism.
Multitenancy allows for cost savings over and above the basic economies of scale achievable from consolidating IT resources into a single operation.

- An application instance usually incurs a certain amount of memory and processing overhead which can be substantial when multiplied by many customers, especially if the customers are small. Multitenancy reduces this overhead by amortizing it over many customers.
- Further cost savings may come from licensing costs of the underlying software (such as operating systems and database management systems). Put crudely, if you can run everything on a single software instance, you only have to buy one software license
How hard it is to build a multi-tenant system?
Even though this is not related to the customer, he should know that designing multi-tenant systems is a very complex task and requires a really good effort.
But it is not that hard when the release management is considered. Since the system runs in a single server, new releases can be easily deployed in to that system comparing non multi-tenant systems in which we have update each and every system for every new release.
System integration services involve the process of connecting various disparate IT systems and software applications within an organization to ensure seamless communication and data sharing. This involves integrating hardware, software, networking technologies, and other components to create a cohesive and efficient system. System integration aims to streamline operations, improve productivity, enhance data accuracy, and facilitate better decision-making by enabling different systems to work together harmoniously. It often involves tasks such as data migration, application integration, API development, and customization to meet specific business needs. Overall, system integration services play a crucial role in optimizing organizational processes and leveraging technology to achieve strategic goals.
