A computer-implemented method of managing tenants on a multi-tenant SIP server system has at least two multi-tenant enabled SIP server instances in an SIP server cloud or private datacenter environment. Each SIP server instance of the plurality of SIP server instances is configured as a virtual application. The method contains the steps of initially configuring a first tenant on a first SIP server instance, monitoring the capacity of the first SIP server instance, and monitoring the capacity of a second SIP server instance. The monitoring of the first and second SIP server instances is carried out by monitoring at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value. When the at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value exceeds a predetermined threshold value indicating that capacity resources are low on the first SIP server instance, then the first tenant is moved from the first SIP server instance to the second SIP server instance.
