  • Publication number: 20090234858
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques of using a single instance of a network service application to provide a network service on behalf of multiple subscribers of a data center. As described herein, a data center may execute an instance of a service application that provides a service that is used by web applications that serve web sites associated with different subscribers of the data center. The instance of the service application stores service-specific data associated with the different web sites in separate partitions of a database. Storing the service-specific data associated with different web sites in separate partitions of the database enables the instance of the service application to control the data used to perform the service on a subscriber-by-subscriber basis while allowing for shared data between subscribers.
