US 2015/0106884 A1 · MEMCACHED MULTI-TENANCY OFFLOAD

Abstract

The present disclosure provides one or network devices having a shared resource that can be remotely accessed by multiple users, also referred to as tenants. The shared resource can be located within one network device or can be spread throughout multiple network devices. One or more resources from among the shared resource can be allocated to one or more corresponding tenants from among the multiple tenants. The one or more corresponding tenants can access their respective resources using one or more commands. The one or network devices can implement an authorization procedure to ensure that the one or more tenants can only access their respective resources. The authorization procedure represents an access control mechanism to grant access to the one or more tenants to only their respective resources.

Dependent claims

A system for accessing a shared resource, the system comprising:

a first shared network device communicatively coupled to a plurality of tenants;
and
a second shared network device communicatively coupled to the plurality of tenants,
wherein the shared resource is parsed between the first shared network device and the second network device,
wherein a first portion of the shared resource is allocated to a first tenant from among the plurality of tenants and a second portion of the shared resource is allocated to a second tenant from among the plurality of tenants, and
wherein the first and the second shared network device are configured to implement an authorization procedure to ensure that the first and the second tenants can only access their corresponding portions of the shared resource.

3 more elements

A method for accessing a shared resource that is parsed between shared network device from among a plurality of shared network devices, the method comprising:

allocating a first portion of the shared resource to a first tenant from among the plurality of tenants and a second portion of the shared resource to a second tenant from among the plurality of tenants,
receiving a request to access the first portion of the shared resource from the first tenant;
implementing an authorization procedure to ensure that the first and the second tenants can only access their corresponding portions of the shared resource in response to the request;
and
granting access to the first portion of the shared resource to the first tenant when the authorization procedure indicates that the first tenant is requesting to only access the first portion of the shared resource.
