SkyVault 2.0 ยป Administering

Setting up multi-tenancy

SkyVault supports a single-instance, single-tenant (ST) environment where each tenant (for example, customer, company, or organization) runs a single instance that is installed on one server or across a cluster of servers.

SkyVault also supports multi-tenancy (MT) features that enable SkyVault to be configured as a true single-instance, multi-tenant environment. Multi-tenancy allows multiple, independent tenants to be hosted on a single instance, which can be installed either on a single server or across a cluster of servers. The SkyVault instance is logically partitioned such that it will appear to each tenant that they are accessing a completely separate instance of SkyVault.

  • Enabling multi-tenancy In SkyVault, the multi-tenancy feature is pre-configured out-of-the-box, although it is not enabled by default.
  • Managing tenants The default SkyVault administrator user has access to the default environment and can be considered to be a "super tenant". Use the Tenant Console in the Admin Console to manage tenants.
  • Multi-tenancy administration When a tenant is created and enabled, the tenant administrator can access the SkyVault administration features, like the Admin Console, or the Share Admin Tools, within the context of their tenant domain.
  • Features not supported in a multi-tenant environment There are some features and components that are not supported in a multi-tenant production environment.
