6. •
•
•
•
Default architecture for deploying .NET
Every client has their own hardware,
software and all installed on their servers
in their premises
For every new client, you install
Hardware, Operating System, SQL Server,
your Application Software
Maintenance required on hardware, OS,
Database, Application Software for every
release
•
•
•
First Simplification may be moving to Virtualisation
Minor improvement in deployment efficiencies
No significant change to support costs
•
Application Server is now Multi-Tenant
–
Maintain one version for all customers
–
Reduced and scalable costs
–
Reduced maintenance overhead
Database layer still inefficient
–
dB licence for each customer regardless of data size
–
dB maintenance still required per customer
–
Different versions of database for older customers
•
•
•
•
MultiTenant – Separate dB Servers
•
Single-Tenant Data-Centre
(Mixed VM/Physical)
Single-Tenant Virtual Servers
Single-Tenant On-Premises
MultiTenant – Schema per Tenant
•
•
•
•
A new schema is deployed for each new customer
Scripting of new schema deployment possible
Data Isolation managed by the SQL Server layer
Some space overhead for every Tenant
Still Single-Tennant
Some physical servers in Data-Centres and some
virtual
All costs remain similar –
–
Hardware (or VM)
–
dB licence
–
Operating System
–
Maintenance
Fixed cost for every Tenant, regardless of data size or
revenue raised
MultiTenant – Shared Everything
•
•
•
•
•
All infrastructure costs are scalable
Allows for dynamic deployment of users
Essential where customers sign up with few
users per tenant
Ideal to support “Free-to-try” or
Introductory rates
Data isolation design is critically important.
Editor's Notes
This shows the actual layout of the solution. Some points to note: We use SAML to talk between the application and InverCloud. This also facilitates full federated AuthenticationWe also provide an extensive SOAP Web-service based API to allow the application to integrate other functionality as needed
This slide explains the varying levels of Multi-tenancySome Software vendors are very cautious about going for full shared-everything Multi-tenancy. InverCloud facilitates all levels of Multi-tenancy from Separate database per server to fully shared-everything. It also allows you to migrate individual tenants from one mode to another if they want later on in the life of the product.
