Tad Buck, Director of ?Informer Sales, Entrinsik
A couple of months ago, we released Informer 5.1, which is a major functionality update to our reporting and data analytics software platform. New features include Multi-tenancy, Mapping Suites, and dozens of productivity enhancements.
The new multi-tenancy architecture enables VARs and ISVs who develop and deploy software to quickly serve multiple customers using a single instance of Informer. Companies can now run one instance of Informer on one database and provide web-based access to their clients, with each client’s data isolated and invisible to other clients.
By supporting multi-tenancy, software vendors and their clients can be hosted separately and securely on shared server infrastructure with the client-facing view featuring the vendor’s branding. Multi-tenancy significantly eases the maintenance and administration of these deployments and optimizes resource usage. It is a particularly compelling model for businesses that may not choose to spend their IT resources on developing more advanced data analysis capabilities in-house and then managing ongoing upgrades on their own.
