Multiple tenants with separated resources and isolated management on a single physical TR7 appliance.
Service providers, holding structures, and multi-region organizations often face the same need: make efficient use of one powerful hardware investment, but draw a clear security boundary for each customer, department, or environment.
Classic multi-tenancy usually adds software-level separation on top of shared resources. That model can be enough for small environments; but when customer isolation, compliance scope, resource guarantees, and operational safety are required, a stronger boundary is needed.
TR7 vTenant delivers hardware-assisted tenant separation on the physical TR7 appliance. Every tenant gets its own CPU, RAM, disk, network, and management domain. Multiple independent TR7 environments can run on a single device; tenants don't consume each other's resources, can't see each other's policies, and can't reach into each other's operational space.
One physical TR7. Multiple isolated tenants.
vTenant partitions CPU, RAM, disk, network, and management domains on a per-tenant basis. MSP customers, subsidiaries, PCI scopes, and test/production environments can run on the same physical appliance — under control and fully isolated.
vTenant doesn't just add a tenant label in the UI. Resource usage, network domain, management authority, and product scope are defined separately per tenant. That makes it possible to operate multiple independent environments on the same physical device.
CPU, RAM, disk, and log space are planned separately per vTenant. One tenant's load or misconfiguration doesn't affect the others.
Tenant traffic doesn't mix into a shared network domain. A separate network context, route table, and firewall boundary can be defined for each tenant.
Each tenant runs with its own admin group, role model, policy domain, and audit trail. One tenant's administrator can't see another tenant's configuration.
Products licensed on the TR7 platform can be made available inside the tenant scope. ADC, WAAP, AAM, GTM, and additional security capabilities are delivered to tenants under control.
vTenant partitions the physical TR7 appliance into multiple isolated tenant areas. The goal is to clearly separate resource, network, and management boundaries while sharing the same hardware investment.
vTenant delivers the most value in scenarios where one physical TR7 platform must be safely partitioned across multiple customers, business units, compliance scopes, or environments.
A Managed Service Provider wants to offer ADC, WAAP, or AAM services to different customers. Separate appliances per customer would be expensive; but customer resources, management, and audit areas must be kept apart.
With vTenant, each customer is defined as a separate tenant. Customer resources, network policies, admin accounts, and audit logs are separated. The MSP runs multi-customer services on a single physical TR7 appliance — more controlled and more scalable.
In a holding structure, different companies or business units want to use the same TR7 infrastructure. Each unit has its own applications, policies, administrators, and audit scope.
Each business unit is positioned as a separate vTenant. The shared hardware investment is preserved, but management authority, configuration, and audit trail are separated per unit.
The organization wants to run both sensitive-data-scoped applications and general applications on the same TR7 appliance. Audits require clear separation of these areas.
A separate vTenant is created for the sensitive-data scope. Its resources, network context, management, and audit trail are separated from the general application area. Audit teams see scope separation more clearly.
The organization wants a separate TR7 capacity for test and development; the production environment must continue running on the same device without being affected. Test load or misconfiguration must not bleed into production.
Production and test run as separate vTenants. Load, rule changes, or configuration errors in the test environment don't affect the production tenant. The same physical device is used more efficiently.
The vTenant add-on is licensed by the number of tenants to be created on the physical TR7 appliance. Small deployments cover a few tenants; large enterprise and service-provider scenarios use broader tenant capacity.
vTenant is available only on the physical TR7 appliance. On the Service Provider Platform License, tenant scope can be considered natively for MSP and multi-customer operations.
vTenant clarifies resource, network, management, and audit boundaries in structures that require separation by customer, business unit, regulatory scope, or environment.
Supports separation of the cardholder data environment from the general application area. Per-tenant network and management boundaries provide a strong technical control for scope separation.
Strengthens technical safeguards on systems that process personal data — through resource, access, and network separation.
Supports separation of different services, customers, or operational scopes in financial systems and an auditable management model.
A separated tenant model can be created for systems that process patient data — by clinic, service, organization, or application.
vTenant is available as a Premium add-on for all four TR7 bundles (Base, Geo, Secure, and Enterprise). It is delivered only on the physical TR7 appliance; the number of tenants is set by the license scope.
Let's model your scenario together in a vTenant demo: how many tenants you need, which resources to separate, which tenants use which products, and how network and management boundaries will be defined.
