Blog > Cloud ERP: Single-Tenant VS Multi-Tenant
Cloud ERP hosting has developed so much in recent years. The best benefits it brings for growing companies are reducing IT maintenance issues, allowing businesses to better scale their internal operations and everything in between.
One common technical question when growing businesses consider moving to Cloud ERP is whether to host their business applications, including ERP, in a single-tenant or multi-tenant architecture.
But before we delve deeper into the benefits and drawbacks of single-tenant and multi-tenant hosting options, we need a clear definition of what they are.
Single-tenant hosting is an architecture where each company has its own instance of the business application and supporting infrastructure. Think of it as a house in a neighborhood community where the house owner can customize their house to meet their personal needs. A single-tenant hosting architecture will allow the user to configure and customize their ERP as they see fit.
Multi-tenant hosting is an architecture where multiple companies share the same infrastructure to store their business data. The infrastructure is designed so that business information is partitioned keeping data belonging to each company separate and secure. A good analogy of this is multiple tenants occupying an apartment block. Tenants have their own units and are able to configure their own living space however they want to.
Now that we have a clear definition of single-tenant hosting and multi-tenant hosting, let’s compare their benefits and drawbacks.
The decision to move your ERP application to the cloud and choosing whether to opt for a multi-tenant hosting solution or a single-tenant hosting solution is not an easy one. Ultimately this depends on what is best for your business operations and the makeup of your growing business.
