Multi-tenant software is a cloud-based software architecture in which a single instance of the software and its supporting infrastructure serves multiple customers also known as tenants. Depending on the solution, each tenant may share infrastructure or a single database; however, each customer’s data is protected with several layers of security measures to make it inaccessible to other tenants.
