14.3 The NNMi tenant model
The NNMi tenant model provides strict segregation of topology discovery and data into tenants, also called organizations or customers. This model is appropriate for use by service providers, especially managed service providers, and large enterprises. The NNMi tenant model has the following benefits:
Marks the organization to which each node belongs.
Provides for filtering the Nodes (All Attributes) inventory view by tenant and security group.
Meets regulatory requirements for separating operator access to customer data.
Simplifies the configuration and maintenance of node groups that align with the tenant configuration.
Simplifies configuration of NNMi security.
Use NNMi multi-tenancy to provide different customer views for a service provider that has multiple customers (tenants) managed from the same NNMi management server.
