Abstract

Multitenancy is one the new property of cloud computing paradigm that change the way of develop software. This concept consists in the aggregation of different tenant in one single istance in contrast with the classic single-tenant concept. The aim of multitenancy is the reduction of costs, the hardware needed is less than single-tenant application, and also the mantainance of the system is less expensive. On the other hand, applications need an high configuration level in order to satisfy the requirements of each tenant. In this paper is presented a pattern that enable legacy applications to handle a multitenancy database. After the presentation of the different approach that implements multitenancy at database system, it is proposed the pattern that aims to interact with this kind of database managing the different customization of different tenant at database level.
