1. Multi-Tenancy capabilities: This capability allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Data of each tenant is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants. In a multi-tenancy architecture, there are different layers to use the concept such as the application layer, the information layer and the infrastructure layer.

2. Elastic Capacity capabilities : Elastic computing means dynamic adaptation of capacity, i.e., by changing the use of computing resources to meet a different workload. The computing capacity needs to be flexible in the application, information and infrastructure layer expanding or contracting as demanded.

3. Virtualization capabilities : Virtualization is the method of creating a "virtual" version of something, it may be computing environments, operating systems or storage devices, instead of using a physical version of an organizations' infrastructure. For example, a virtualized IO layer 10 has characteristics such as sharing of storage space for multiple consumers with perfect expansion and reduction, high availability and reliability and high performance. With this feature of cloud computing, an organization can best use its resources.
