Abstract:
A method for distributing network services for a network device through a multi-tenant network service. An identification parameter is associated with the device and is stored in a database by an orders management system after the device is ordered. The method includes establishing a network connection between a network device and a multi-tenant network service and, in response to establishing the network connection, obtaining device-associated identification parameter from the network device. The identification parameter is used to query the database for at least one record associated with the network device identifying a tenant of the multi-tenant network service in which the tenant corresponds to the device. The service maps the network device to the identified tenant of the multi-tenant network service and distributes network services based upon the mapping of the network device to the identified tenant.
