I missed the webinar and haven't had time to listen to the recording so I don't know the context of "multi-tenant" that they are talking about for SAW (I never heard Sage Alerts and Workflow called SAW until it appeared on a trivia question at the Sage ThiveON sessions a couple of weeks ago. It stumped everybody!)
In I-BN's cloud, all Sage 100, 300, 500 and yes, BusinessWorks are private environments with dedicated resources and I'm sure it's the same way at Summit Hosting and others. And I say "dedicated resources" because at AWS and Azure, you're placed is a shared RAM pool which can affect performance during busy times of the day.
In the SAP Business One cloud, we have an I-BN Managed multi-tenant cloud where different companies share resources. Think of it as a secured apartment building with public restrooms, pool, kitchen, etc. You have security with a locked door and someone watching who enters and leaves which equates to the Firewall and antivirus software. You have your own private apartment which is your company instance and you have different bedrooms which can be multiple companies running inside your instance but you share the facilities which equates to RAM, some software, etc. It can lower cost a little and but the big benefit is it makes it easier for the hosting company to support because when you upgrade, everybody has to upgrade so you only have to support one version of the software. Wouldn't it be nice if we all only had to support one version of Sage???

What is the significance of it being multi-tenant? Don said you could have two clients' in one installation. I didn't follow. We could always have two company files, or two database connections. And I can't see a scenario where I'd have two of my clients talking to one Sage Alerts installation.
