Increase effectiveness of a SaaS system by utlization of tenant based resources allocation model
Marek Woda, Wojciech Stolarz · 2013
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a software distribution paradigm in cloud computing and represents the highest, software layer in the cloud stack. Since most cloud services providers charge for the resource use it is important to create resource efficient applications. One of the ways to achieve that is multitenant architecture of SaaS applications. It allows the application for efficient self-managing of the resources. In this paper the influence of tenant-based resource allocation model on cost-effectiveness of SaaS systems is investigated. The tenant-based resource allocation model is one of the methods to tackle under-optimal resource utilization. When compared to traditional resource scaling it can reduce the costs of running SaaS systems in cloud environments. The more tenant-oriented the SaaS systems are the more benefits that model can provide.
