First, a plurality of parameters may be received. Then a plurality of pre-provisioned tenants may be created based upon the received plurality of parameters. A request for service may be received and then an actual tenant may be assigned to one of the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants in response to the received request. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for providing a platform, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of parameters; creating a plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters; receiving a request for service; and assigning an actual tenant to one of the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants in response to the received request. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a feature pack indication. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a network indicator. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a target number of tenants. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a target number of tenants determined based upon anticipated demand. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a target number of tenants per language. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a start time indicator. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a start time indicator corresponding to an off peak time period. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a stop time indicator. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a stop time indicator corresponding to an off peak time period. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a batch size indicator. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a batch active wait time indicator. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of parameters comprises receiving the plurality of parameters comprising a batch idle wait time indicator. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters comprises creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants during an off peak time. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters comprises creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants during an off peak time for a region a data center corresponding to the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters comprises running a scheduler job on a grid manager. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the request for service comprises receiving the request for service from a user corresponding to the actual tenant. ### Claim 18 A system for providing a platform, the system comprising: a memory storage; and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to: create a plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon a plurality of parameters, wherein the processing unit being operative to create the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants comprises the processing unit being operative to create the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants during an off peak time for a region a data center corresponding to the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants; receive a request for service; and assign an actual tenant to one of the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants in response to the received request. ### Claim 19 A computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method for providing a platform, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising: receiving a plurality of parameters; creating a plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters; and assigning an actual tenant to one of the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants in response to a received request from a user corresponding to the actual tenant. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants based upon the received plurality of parameters comprises creating the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants during an off peak time for a region a data center corresponding to the plurality of pre-provisioned tenants.
