Abstract

An apparatus hosting a multi-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) system maximizes resource sharing capability of the SaaS system. The apparatus receives service requests from multiple users belonging to different tenants of the multi-tenant SaaS system. The apparatus partitions the resources in the SaaS system into different resource groups. Each resource group handles a category of the service requests. The apparatus estimates costs of the service requests of the users. The apparatus dispatches service requests to resource groups according to the estimated costs, whereby the resources are shared, among the users, without impacting each other.
