1 Cloud application services (SaaS) Multi-Tenant Data Architecture Shailesh Paliwal Infosys Technologies Limited The paper starts with a generic discussion on the cloud application services and security concerns then expands the concepts with 3 main data management approaches of multi-tenant data management. After that paper describes reference architecture including standard cloud computing taxonomy for meta-data driven architecture approach and a conceptual data model to support the architecture. At the end it incorporates a comparison between green field application verses existing application migration assessment for target Software as a Service (SaaS) environment. WHAT ARE THE CLOUD APPLICATION (SAAS) SERVICES? Now a days the availability of reliable high speed broadband Internet access, service-oriented architectures (SOAs), and the economic management driving a transition toward the delivery of Cloud applications - of dedicated on-premises applications are Cloud applications or "Software as a Service (SaaS) applications deliver software as a service over the Internet, eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computers and simplifying maintenance and support, and equipped with decomposable applications, managed services, shared hardware / software /admin resources and Web-based services. It s a paradigm shift which imposes a new set of technical challenges. Existing application frameworks are not designed and deployed to handle the SaaS challenges smoothly. This void leads to new paradigm shift called platform as a service (PaaS) - Hosted application platforms are managed environments specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of building Software as Service applications and deliver them more economically as compared to traditional standalone deployments. DATA SECURITY - A MAJOR CONCERN FOR CLOUD APPLICATIONS Trust, or lack of trust, is the number one factor blocking the adoption of SaaS. SaaS applications provide customers with centralized, network-based access to data with much less overhead as compared to using a locally-installed application. In order to harness the power of SaaS, an enterprise must give up a level of control over its own data and needs to trust the SaaS vendor to keep their data safe and away from snooping eyes. To earn this trust, one of the highest priorities for prospective SaaS vendors is to create data architecture that should be - Robust and secure to satisfy tenants or clients data security needs, Efficient and cost-effective to administer and maintain. Highly manageable by implementing multi-tenancy and meta data driven architecture as fundamental design approach Some obvious questions that arise are - Why multi-tenancy? Why meta-data driven architectures are the premier choice for implementing multi-tenancy?
2 RATIONALE The multi-tenancy architectural approach can benefit both application providers and users. Operating just one application instance for multiple Enterprises yields tremendous cost benefits for the provider as well as the tenants. Enterprises can customize an application as though they have their private application instance. The application instance dynamically morphs for any particular tenant need. Instead of isolated silos of applications a multi-tenant application is one large community hosted by the provider. There is much less development and maintenance cost due to just one platform (operating system, database etc). Less administrative work and staff is needed for the shared hardware and software environment, which leads to further cost savings. Tenants can operate in virtual isolation, by implementing virtualization. Because of a shared hardware and software stake, it is easy to manage the user access to various applications and data, which leads to greater collaboration and integration with faster time to market. Various sets of user population can provide feedback on application operations e.g query responses, errors etc, which enables the provider to make improvements in common hardware and software in order to benefit the entire user community at once. Some side benefits of multi-tenancy are quality services, user delight, and repeat business. MULTI-TENANT DATA MANAGEMENT 3 APPROACHES The degree of isolation for a Software as a Service application can vary significantly depending on business requirements. There are three main approaches, each of which lies at a different location in the scale between isolation and sharing. Refer to Figure 1 below.
3 Figure.1. Multi-tenant Data management 3 Approaches, each of which lies at a different location in the scale between isolation and sharing 1. Separate DB : Least preferred as it is very much isolated and expensive 2. Shared DB Separate Schema : Moderately preferred - it reduces the resource cost but with a high maintenance cost 3. Shared DB Shared Schema : Most preferred approach as DB and schema are shared it reduces the resource and maintenance cost by a large extent MULTI-TENANT APPLICATIONS CONCEPTS DEFINITION In order to achieve cost efficiencies in delivering same applications to various sets of users it is a vital and obvious choice that an increasing number of applications are Multi-tenant instead of singletenant. A Multi-tenant application should be able to satisfy the needs of multiple sub-organizations or sections within the organization (multiple tenants), using the single, shared stake of software and hardware
4 resources and staff needed to manage (Figure 2). Figure.2. A Multi-tenant application shares a single stack of resources both hardware and software to cater multiple tenants (Organizations, sub-organizations, sections etc) META-DATA-DRIVEN REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE A traditional static application is not capable of addressing unique challenges of multi-tenancy. A Multi-tenant application should be dynamic in nature, or polymorphic, to fulfill the specific expectations of various tenants and their users. Application components need to be generated at runtime from meta-data i.e. data about the application itself. It should be a well-defined meta-data driven architecture (Figure. 3), with a separate component for 1. Runtime application data 2. Meta-data that describes the base functionality of an application 3. Meta-data that corresponds to each tenant specific data and customizations It enables the ability to independently update the core system, modify the core application, and customize tenant-specific components with virtually no risk affecting others. In SaaS environments it s a nightmare to manage a vast, frequently changing set of actual database structures on behalf of each application and tenant. It is suggested to use virtual database structures using a set of Meta-data, data, and pivot tables, as illustrated in Figure 4 below.
5 Figure.3. A virtual database structures using a set of Meta-data, data, and pivot tables CLOUD COMPUTING TAXONOMY FOR SAAS MODEL Reference : The open group The below Figure 4 shows the overall cloud computing taxonomy for SaaS Model. It covers horizontal layers from Hardware, software, database, and application to the service provider layer and vertically from service consumer, security, management to service developer layer.
6 Figure.4. SaaS Model Cloud Computing Taxonomy Reference : The open group META-DATA-DRIVEN REFERENCE DATA MODEL CONCEPTUAL As compared to managing a vast frequently changing set of actual database structures on behalf of each application and tenant, it is advisable to manage virtual database structures using a set of Meta-data, data, and pivot tables, as illustrated in Figure 5 below. When tenants create custom application entities (i.e., custom tables), programmatically need to track of Meta-data concerning the entities, their Attribute, relationships, and other entity definition characteristics. A few large database tables store the structured and unstructured data separately for all virtual tables, and a set of related, specialized pivot tables in order to maintain data that makes the combined data set fully functional.
7 Figure.5. Reference conceptual model consists of a set of Meta-data, data, and pivot tables that allow for functional access to the actual data of virtual tables GREEN FIELD SAAS IMPLEMENTATION VS EXISTING APPLICATION MIGRATION INTO SAAS Green Field SaaS implementation : A Green Field SaaS implementation is comparatively simple and pretty straight forward as it requires subscribing a new tenant or organization in SaaS application setup. SaaS Meta data driven reference data model can support N number of tenants connected to a single SaaS application environment. Existing application migration into SaaS : An existing application migration into SaaS environment is not a simple task and requires a comprehensive assessment for checking the feasibility of existing application migration into SaaS multitenant application. Following the list of assessment suggested

9 SUMMARY This paper emphasizes the following - The Data Architecture of a SaaS application should be robust, secure, efficient, cost-effective and highly manageable. Multi-tenancy and meta-data driven architecture for SaaS applications is the way out and able to address these key issues. By using multi-tenant and meta-data driven architecture Tenants can operate in virtual isolation and dynamically morph for their particular need. Operating just one application instance hosted on shared hardware for multiple Enterprises yields tremendous cost benefits for the provider, less administrative work, less development cost, greater collaboration and integration with faster time to market. At the end of the day it results in quality services, user delight, and repeat business. The design approaches and reference Meta-driven data model for multi-tenant applications discussed in this paper can assure relative data security and trust while using various approaches. A shared schema shared database approach is important for the success of the SaaS application. In SaaS environments it s a nightmare to manage a vast, frequently changing set of actual database structures on behalf of each application and tenant. It is suggested to use virtual database structures using a set of Meta-data, data, and pivot tables. Existing application migration into SaaS as compared to Green Field SaaS implementation imposes lots of challenges and is not a simple task. It requires a comprehensive assessment for checking the feasibility of existing application migration into SaaS multi-tenant environments. This paper also covers the detailed assessment parameters.
