Talk:Multitenancy

message: Most of the recent published research on multi-tenant architectures uses a hyphenated version of the word (multi-tenancy vs. multitenancy). I changed this in the text, but I am unsure about how to change the name of the page, or who makes the decision on whether to change the page name or not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayelston (talk • contribs) 19:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Multitenancy or Multi-tenancy

message: From TD Anthony: As the definition of a term that is rather simple, old (20+ years), and generic (Saas, telecom, mainframe, database, etc) the article could have been a tad shorter and less hyperbolic.  
I might have added: The term "multi-tenancy" was re-incarnated from its use in the real estate business wherein it signified how a building that might have otherwise have been rented and used by a single tenant was rented to multiple tenants that shared the common facilities.  Around the 1980's, the computer and telecommunications industries started to adopt the phrase to define how large and expensive products could be used to serve multiple customers or groups within a single running instance of the product to reduce the cost to each customer and the resources consumed.  
Mainframe databases and corporate PBX's are good examples.  These products incorporated a high level of configuration segmentation and usage isolation that, at first, was meant to isolate the use of the products by different subsidiary companies or divisions. A case in point is where a PBX that is owned by a large company in an office building is re-programmed to also provide isolated phone functions to a smaller neighboring tenant in the same building.  
Thus, multiple entities (such as tenants) using a single instance of a larger product == Multi-tenancy Xor42 (talk) 17:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Much Ado

message: Sorry, but the viewpoint of this article seems overwhelmingly positive and seems geared more as a sale brochure rather than describing exactly how this works and its advantages/disadvantages compared to alternatives. I would like to see more technical detail on how multitenancy works. Also, currently most of the references come from articles written by companies actively pushing multitenancy, so again I would like to see more balanced, or at least less obviously biased sources. 196.205.118.246 (talk) 19:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Multi client

message: I think I've made the article less SaaS specific, and also removed anything that looks like a recommendation for a particular product.
Comments and changes welcome, otherwise I'll remove the three tags in a couple of weeks.

thread_title: References

message: All of this info seems correct, but no sources are provided, and it reads a bit like an Op Ed.  
I'm not an editor. I read this page out of interest and found that section out of place.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.177.182.126 (talk) 00:38, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Virtualization Section 

message: It seems like this is just about an application that runs on a server and can be accessed by several clients simultaneously? The article mentions "tenants", but that word is never explained, so the non-knowledgeable reader is left in the dark as to whether it just means "clients" or has some specialized, technical meaning. 178.85.213.90 (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
