Multi Tenant BI - an Apt Architecture for BI system
1.
2. • Multi Tenancy showcases an architecture
within which a single instance of a software
application serves multiple clients
• Each of these clients is termed as a ‘tenant’
• These tenants would be offered provision for
customization to a certain extent, like changes
in the UI colour or certain design patterns etc.
• They would not be allowed customization into
the main source code
3. • Multi tenant BI refers to a single Business
Intelligence instance that serves multiple
organizations / clients
• Such BI solutions provide the file / folder / row
/ theme level secure multi tenant
environment
• Multi tenancy is imbibed in most of the
popular BI tools like Pentaho, Jaspersoft etc.
4. • Turns out to be economical since there is sharing
of development and maintenance costs
• Unlike Single tenancy (with a focus on clients
having their own software instances and access
to source code), Multi Tenancy focuses on the
service provider to touch multiple instances of
the software and get updates
• In this novel approach, the service provider will
need to make updates only once
