  • Techniques for providing services to multiple tenants via a shared end-point
    Patent number: 9509662
    Abstract: A service is provided that supports a plurality of tenants. Server(s) of the service are communicatively coupled with a plurality of gateways of the service. Each gateway is configured to support at least one tenant. The server(s) of the service include a network interface, a tenant mapper, and a gateway interface. The network interface is configured to receive connection strings from client devices. Each received connection string includes a service portion that maps to the same public IP address of the service, and also includes a corresponding tenant portion that identifies a tenant. The tenant mapper maps the tenant portions of the connection strings to corresponding gateways. The gateway interface is configured to enable the gateways to establish tunnels between the corresponding client devices and identified tenants.
