Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 IEEE/ACS 13th International Conference of Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA) Conference Start Date: 2016, Nov. 29 Conference End Date: 2016, Dec. 2 Conference Location: Agadir, Morocco 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.
