User data in a cloud environment

[avianmanagement]

Thanks for that Barry,

So do I need to set up a separate domain for each user ? www.david.com, www.hank.com etc ? That would be a pain if one had say 1000 users.

What would be the best way to handle the following.

I create an application for use by the general public and have lets say 1000 users, they have no connection to each other in terms of data access.

Do I have to create 1000 domains, one for each of them ?

If you want each user to have their own private databases they have to have their own "tenancy".

It is simple, you just create symbolic links to the apps and library directory and copy the database directory to their tenancy.

This is how Lianja Hosted Cloud will work as well.

If you look a the c:\lianja\cloudserver\ directory you will see it is structured like this:

c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\
c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\  
c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\apps\
c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\data\
c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\library\
c:lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\profiles\

and on Linux:

/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants
/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants/public  
/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants/public/apps
/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants/public/data
/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants/public/library
/opt/lianja/cloudserver/tenants/public/profiles

"public" is for users with "*" as their domain.
