[All MB-820 Questions]

A company is deploying Business Central on-premises.

The company plans to use a single-tenant deployment architecture.

You need to describe how the data is stored and how the Business Central Server is configured.

In which two ways should you describe the single-tenant architecture? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

In a single-tenant deployment architecture of Business Central on-premises, the following characteristics describe how the data is stored and how the Business Central Server is configured:

The application and the business data are stored in the same database (B): In a single-tenant architecture, each tenant (which typically corresponds to a single customer) has its own dedicated database. This database contains both the application objects (such as pages, reports, codeunits, etc.) and the business data (such as customer, vendor, and transaction records). This setup ensures that each tenant's data is isolated and can be managed independently.

The application and business data are stored in separate databases (D): While (B) is a characteristic of a single-tenant deployment, it's important to clarify that in some configurations, the application objects can be stored in a separate database from the business data. This approach can be used for easier maintenance and upgrades of the application code without affecting the business data. However, each tenant still has its own set of databases, maintaining the single-tenancy model.

The other options provided do not accurately describe a single-tenant architecture:

Each customer has their own Business Central Server (A): This statement might be misleading. In a single-tenant deployment, while each customer has their own database, they do not necessarily have their own Business Central Server instance. Multiple databases (tenants) can be hosted on a single server instance, although they are not shared across customers.

Multiple customers share a single Business Central Server (C) and Multiple customers share multiple Business Central Server instances (E): These options describe a multi-tenant architecture rather than a single-tenant one. In a multi-tenant setup, multiple customers (tenants) can share the same server instance and even the same application database, with data isolation ensured at the application level.

Seems like A is a consensus. Not sure about B versus D though. Heard arguments for both.

I went with A and B too. I think the application and data are stored together in a single-tenant setup.

I agree with A, but I picked D for the second option. Aren't the data usually stored separately?

I chose A and B. A single-tenant means each customer has their own server, right?
