15 October 2024

Cohesity Platform cluster supports the multitenancy feature. The multitenancy feature enables you to configure the multitenant environment on your Cohesity Platform and securely isolate each tenant in your environment. You can use a single Cohesity cluster to provide service to multiple tenants. See the following topics for details:

In the context of Cohesity, the multitenancy feature is termed as Organizations. Each tenant on the Cohesity cluster is called an Organization.
Once the Organizations feature is enabled on a cluster, you cannot disable it.

You can configure the Organizations feature on the Cohesity cluster for the following environments:

Service Providers (SPs)
Large Enterprises

Service Providers (SPs)

As a service provider, you can use the Cohesity cluster to provide storage-related, data backup, data management services, etc. to your customers.

Cohesity Platform allows tenants to manage their organizations based on the privileges provided by you as a service provider. This allows organizations (tenants) to perform routine tasks without depending on you as the service provider.

You can provide the following services as a service provider:

Backup as a Service (BaaS)
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Filer as a Service (FaaS)

Multitenancy is not just for service providers; it’s also useful for large enterprises. Large enterprises can use multitenancy to isolate departments or business units as an individual tenant from each other for security and compliance reasons.
