EXAScaler Multi-Tenancy Demo

Core Functionality - Exoscaler data intelligence platform supports multi-tenancy by leveraging VLANs and secure data partitions [1][2] - Client access controls prevent unauthorized data access, enhancing security [2] - Capacity management controls via quotas allow flexible space allocation to tenants [2] Technical Implementation - Network configuration utilizes VLANs with paired IP addresses for intracluster networking and tenant connections [3] - Each tenant maps to two IPs for multiple connections to each VLAN, ensuring high availability [3] - Multi-tenancy is enabled via EMF settings and synced across the cluster [4] - Clients without registered IPs on the appropriate VLAN lose system access due to VLAN isolation [5] Quota Management - Hard quotas enforce strict limits, preventing tenants from exceeding allocated capacity, ensuring total capacity of all tenants never exceed the cluster's capacity [7][9] - Soft quotas allow tenants to use shared capacity by overallocating quotas, potentially leading to less waste but requiring trust [7][10] - Hybrid approach combines soft and hard quotas, providing leeway while preventing excessive consumption of free space [11][12] Data Handling - The system supports on-the-fly quota adjustments while serving data to clients [9] - Demonstrated the creation of a 10 TB (Terabyte) test file to illustrate quota enforcement [8]
