Multi-tenant systems place the data from multiple companies (org in Salesforce) on the same server, generally separating them from each other via a simple partition that prevents the data from migrating from one company to another. There are various benefits of multi-tenancy including cost savings, no upgrades headache for the client (and faster and smoother upgrade for vendor), flexibility, scalability, high performance, low operational costs etc. Salesforce.com is based on multi-tenant architecture and it works pretty well.
In other words it is where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client organizations (tenants). Its like an apartment building where all residents/tenants share the space or portions with each other. Just like a tenant does not own the house he is living in, a cloud tenant also does not own the data. He is simply paying for the data storage of his data elsewhere.
