20.2.1 Filtering Tables in Web Interface by SRD
When your configuration includes multiple SRDs, you can filter tables in the Web interface
by SRD. The filter is configured in the SRD Filter drop-down list, located on the Web
interface's toolbar, as shown below.
Figure 20-8: Filtering Display by SRD
The filter is applied throughout the Web GUI. When you select an SRD for filtering, the
Web interface displays only table rows associated with the filtered SRD. When you add a
new row to a table, the filtered SRD is automatically selected as the associated SRD. For
example, if you filter the Web display by SRD "Comp-A" and you then add a new Proxy
Set, the Proxy Set is automatically associated with this SRD (i.e., the 'SRD' parameter is
set to "Comp-A"). All other parameters in the dialog box are also automatically set to values
associated with the filtered SRD.
The SRD filter also affects display of number of configured rows and invalid rows by status
icons on table items in the Navigation tree. The status icons only display information
relating to the filtered SRD.
SRD filtering is especially useful in multi-tenant setups where multiple SRDs may be
configured. In such a setup, SRD filtering eliminates configuration clutter by "hiding" SRDs
that are irrelevant to the current configuration and facilitates configuration by automatically
associating the filtered SRD, and other configuration elements associated with the filtered
SRD, wherever applicable.
20.2.2 Multiple SRDs for Multi-tenant Deployments
The device can be deployed in a multi-tenant architecture, serving multiple customers
(tenants) from a single, shared physical entity. The device's multi-tenant feature is fully
scalable, offering almost “non-bleeding” partition per tenant, whereby users of one tenant
can’t infringe on the space of users of another tenant. The device provides per tenant
configuration, monitoring, reporting, analytics, alarms and interfacing. The device is a real-
time multi-tenant system that provides each tenant with optimal real-time performance, as
each session received by the device is classified and processed only through the tenant’s
“orbit”.
While some enterprises are large enough to justify a dedicated standalone device, many
enterprises require only a fraction of the device's capacity and capabilities. Service
providers offering SIP Trunking services can funnel multiple enterprises into a single device
and thereby, reap significant cost improvements over a device-per-customer model. Tenant
size in a multi-tenant architecture can vary and therefore, the instance CPU, memory and
interface allocations should be optimized so as not to waste resources for small-sized
tenants on the one hand, and not to allocate too many instances for a single
