Salesforce Certified Associate — Question 28

Get Cloudy Consulting (GCC) plans to migrate from a legacy CRM system to Salesforce. GCC currently uses a dedicated single-tenant, on-premise system and wants to utilize a multi-tenant architecture like Salesforce uses.
What is one feature of multi-tenant architecture?

Answer options

• A. Resources are limited to each tenant.
• B. Resources are shared and unlimited for each tenant.
• C. Resources are shared and tenants can use each other’s resources.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in a multi-tenant architecture, resources are allocated in a way that allows for shared use among tenants, often leading to greater efficiency and scalability. Option A is incorrect as it suggests limited resources which contradicts the nature of multi-tenancy. Option C is also wrong because while resources are shared, tenants cannot typically access each other’s resources for security and privacy reasons.
