Customised performance benchmarking for novel multi-tenancy architecture

Abstract

Cloud computing together with emerging technologies has made dramatic and descriptive changes to the traditional datacenters by enabling cost savings and introducing modern resource optimization technics to move non-critical business functions into pay-as-you-go services. Multi-tenancy is one of the top ranked technology which fuels cloud computing. Multi-tenancy is a technology which allows multiple tenants to share single instance of data and applications. The primary contribution of this paper is two-folds; the first one is the proposal and implementation of a more efficient and secure multi-tenancy architecture, and the second is the development of a novel performance evaluation framework based on benchmarking for the proposed multi-tenancy architecture. Research in the area of multi-tenancy in the cloud, despite its significance, it is still immature and unexploited fully.
