Abstract

Software as a service (SaaS) providers exploit economies of scale by o ering the same instance of an application to multiple customers typically in a single- instance multi-tenant architecture model. Therefore the applications must be scalable, multi-tenant aware and con gurable. In this paper we show how the services in a service-oriented SaaS application can be deployed using di erent multi-tenancy patterns. We describe how services in di erent multi-tenancy patterns can be composed on the application level. In addition to that, we also describe how these multi-tenancy patterns can be applied to middleware and hardware components. We then show with some real world examples how the di erent multi-tenancy patterns can be combined.
