communicate with system 1016 using tcp ip and at a higher network level use other common internet protocols to communicate such as http ftp afs wap etc in an example where http is used user system 1012 might include an http client commonly referred to as a u201c browser u201d for sending and receiving http messages to and from an http server at system 1016 such an http server might be implemented as the sole network interface between system 1016 and network 1014 but other techniques might be used as well or instead in some implementations the interface between system 1016 and network 1014 includes load sharing functionality such as round robin http request distributors to balance loads and distribute incoming http requests evenly over a plurality of servers at least as for the users that are accessing that server each of the plurality of servers has access to the mts u2032 data however other alternative configurations may be used instead in one embodiment system 1016 shown in fig1 implements a web based customer relationship management crm system for example in one embodiment system 1016 includes application servers configured to implement and execute crm software applications as well as provide related data code forms webpages and other information to and from user systems 1012 and to store to and retrieve from a database system related data objects and webpage content with a multi tenant system data for multiple tenants may be stored in the same physical database object however tenant data typically is arranged so that data of one tenant is kept logically separate from that of other tenants so that one tenant.
