In August 2013, Gartner publised an interesting article "When Will Your SAP Basis Operations Team Get the Automation Tools That They Need?" The answer should be yesterday, but about 5 years later, SAP Basis teams are still asking the same questions.

INTRODUCTION:
On June 23, 2015, I attended the SAP HANA Operations Summit at SAP Labs in Palo Alto and there was a lot of buzz around Multi-tenant Database Container (MDC) or Multi-tenancy. Recently, we also encountered some of our SAP monitoring customers who deployed MDC, so this publication will summarize some of the highlights and findings encountered with MDC.
There is a good summary of what Multitenancy and how to convert HANA to a multi-tenant system, so I won't restate them here, but if you have ever worked on a SAP MCOD (Multiple Component on One Database) system, it is similar. MDC is available as of SPS09 revision, either as new install or converted from a single database system.
