Multiple tenant environments

Multi-tenancy provides the capability to support multiple customers or organizations (tenants) by using a single deployment of an application, while ensuring that each tenant can access only the data that they are authorized to use. Such applications are called multi-tenant applications. Multi-tenant applications minimize the extra costs associated with these environments.

IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence provides built-in multi-tenancy capabilities. Before you can use IBM Cognos multi-tenancy, you must modify configuration files in your IBM Cognos Business Intelligence installation.
