Multi-Tenant Overview

Cloudpath supports server configurations in single-tenant and multi-tenant mode. A multi-tenant instance allows you to host multiple customer accounts on your Cloudpath system.

In multi-tenant mode, the server is configured for one root account and up to 128 tenant accounts.

Note: Each multi-tenant system is provided with 256 RADIUS ports, which equates to one RADIUS authentication port, and one RADIUS accounting port, per tenant account.

VM Specifications

A Cloudpath multi-tenant virtual appliance can be deployed using a VMware ESXI, with an open virtualization archive (OVA) file, or using Microsoft Hyper-V Manager, with a Hyper-V virtual hard disk (vhdx) disk image file.

When deploying a VM for a multi-tenant server, we recommend using 16-18 GB RAM and a 4 vCPUs x 4 Cores configuration to support up to 128 tenant accounts.

Root Account

The root account is the bind account for the entire multi-tenant system. The root account manages the Cloudpath server, can view and manage all tenant accounts and perform system administration tasks, such as upgrades, certificate management, and license information.

Tenant Accounts

Tenant accounts are individual customer accounts hosted and managed by the Cloudpath multi-tenant server. Tenant administrators can only view and manage their own account.
