Forming and maintaining a multi-source multi-tenant data repository on behalf of multiple tenants. Information in the multi-source multi-tenant data repository is received from multiple sources. Different sources and different data quality enhancement processes may yield different values for attributes of the same referred entity. Information in the multi-source multi-tenant data repository is tagged with annotations documenting the sources of the information, and any data quality processing actions applied to it. Tenants of the multi-source multi-tenant data repository have entitlement to values from some sources and to the results of some quality enhancement processes. Aspects of the method maintain this entitlement information; employ evolutionarily tracked source data tags; receive requests for information, locate the requested information, apply any sourcing preference, enforce entitlements and return entitled values to the requester. An outsourced reference data utility is one context where such a multi-source multi-tenant data repository is useful.

A trusted virtualization platform protects sensitive customer data during operation of virtual machines in a multi-tenant cloud computing center. The trusted virtualization platform limits administrator access to the data and state of the virtual machines running thereon, reports any changes made thereto, and requires keys provided by the customer or a trusted third party of the customer to perform management operations on the virtual machines. By requiring cloud computing centers to use such trusted virtualization platforms, customers uploading their virtual machines into the cloud computing center can be assured that cloud administrators will not be able to access or tamper with their private data. Furthermore, customers can directly audit all important state or configuration changes for their virtual machines as the trusted virtualization platform can be configured to report all such changes according to a security policy set by the customer.

By using this invention, the necessity of modifying a source code of an application so as to enabling a single-tenant application to support an operation in the multi-tenant model may be reduced. The present invention further provides a multi-tenant file system adapted for a multi-tenant application. In cooperation with the multi-tenant system, the method and file proxy apparatus according to the present invention may provide transparent support to fulfill security isolation and access control of tenant files with different SLAs.

An online service includes managed databases that include one or more tenants (e.g. customers, users). A multi-tenant database may be split between two or more databases while the database being split continues processing requests. For example, web servers continue to request operations on the database while content is being moved. After moving the content, tenant traffic is automatically redirected to the database that contains the tenant's content.

The invention relates to multi-tenant system achievement, in particular to the multi-tenant system achievement based on software as a service (SAAS) application. The multi-tenant system achievement belongs to the field of network communication and is characterized in that tenant register and user register of each tenant of the SAAS application are completed through a register management module; a verifying process of tenant information and tenant data information is completed through a tenant verifying module; binding of functional modules customized by the tenants is completed through an example custom-tailor module; limit information set by the tenants is bound to a set user through a limit binding module; and record storage of various data of the tenants is completed through a data management module.
