* A multi-tenant environment provides the foundation for a scalable and flexible cloud storage infrastructure. Tenancy’s hierarchical model enables a flexible application integration that can support millions of users. This extensible architecture also provides robust reporting and resource management capability to segment users, applications, departments or even customers. A mutli-tenant Atmos deployment also significantly improves operational efficiency. Tenancy allows the flexibility access methods and node services that are optimized based on user access requirements. Effectively, tenants empower administrators to provide better services to their line of business. Atmos is a large distributed massively scalable system and when properly deployed a mutli-tenant environment is managed in segments. Each segment can be managed and administered separately, where every tenant has its own policy management scheme and is easier to map business requirements into policy definitions. Atmos Overview June 2009 * Atmos administrators can create conceptual subsets of the storage resources within an Atmos system. Each of these subsets is called a tenant, identified by a name that is unique system-wide. Associated with a tenant are specific access nodes, security control, storage policies, and access to the data stored on that tenant’s resources. Stronger than simple access control, tenancy is a logical compartmentalization of data and resources. Each tenant appears to have unique and sole access to a subset of the system resources. This is similar to virtual machines in a virtualization environment. Tenant Administrators are unaware of system resources other than those defined for their tenant, nor can they access those resources. Subtenants are logical subsets of tenants that group together selected policies, data access, and reporting capabilities. Each subtenant owns its own users and sees a unique set of data. A given object can be seen by only one subtenant. Whe
