Abstract
Considering the extremely low utilization of dedicated database servers and also reducing the hardware and operational cost associated with this model of database deployment, it is more reasonable to adopt a multi-tenant database (MTD). A MTD is a way of deploying a Database as a Service (DaaS). This is gaining momentum with significant increase in the number of organizations ready to take advantage of the technology. A multi-tenant database refers to a principle where a single instance of a Database Management System (DBMS) runs on a server, serving multiple clients organizations (tenants). This is a database which provides database support to a number of separate and distinct groups of users or tenants. This technology amortises the total cost of ownership (TCO) thereby leading to reduction in per- tenant cost by increasing the scale. This paper considers the requirements and challenges of implementing MTDs. Several factors that influence the adoption of MTDs are identified. In this work, a research survey is presented that use a questionnaire while UK Oracle user
group (UKOUG) members are the focus group. Thirty respondents’ data were collated and carefully analysed. The primary contribution of this paper is to present to intended subscriber of MTD the degree of impact these
factors has on the decision to adopt any of the MTD model.
