A way to cloud computing basic to multitenant environment

Abstract: Cloud Computing is evolving as a key computing platform for sharing resources that include infrastructures, software, applications, and business processes. Virtualization is widely used in the cloud computing, it is a core technology for enabling cloud resource sharing. Virtualization is used to virtualize a single instance to the multiple instances. However, most existing Cloud Computing platforms have not formally adopted the service-oriented architecture (SOA) that would make them more flexible, extensible, and reusable. This paper discusses the concept of cloud computing in single tenant and multitenant environment. Three layered architecture is very useful to understand the overall concept of cloud computing. Multitenant applications are very useful for the increased utilization of hardware resources and improved ease of maintenance. All these benefits of multitenancy shoud result in lower application coasts and give the major benefit to small and medium enterprises (SME). The main focus on this paper is to describe the overall concept of cloud computing to the multitenant application.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Virtualization, Single Tenant Application, Multitenant Application, Layered Requirement Model.
