2. Introduction
Liferay DXP offers a robust multi-tenancy feature known
as Virtual Instances. This allows organizations to host
multiple independent portals on a single server, sharing
the same installation but maintaining separate data,
configurations, and users.

3. Key Concept – Virtual Instances
A virtual instance acts as a standalone portal with its own
domain, theme, users, and configurations. It allows
businesses to manage different brands or regions
independently while maintaining shared system
resources.

4. Benefits of Virtual Instances
Centralized administration with separate configurations
• Reduced infrastructure cost by using a single installation
• Simplified maintenance and upgrades
• Scalability for enterprise-level environments
• Data isolation for security and compliance

5. Configuration and Management
Virtual Instances can be managed through the Liferay
Control Panel under Instance Settings. Administrators can
define domain URLs, customize branding, configure
authentication, and assign resources per instance. Shared
system settings like SSO or email services can still apply
across all instances.

6. Use Case Example
Consider a global enterprise managing different regional
portals — one for each country. Using Virtual Instances,
each region can maintain its own language, branding, and
content strategy while leveraging a shared infrastructure
and administrative control.

7. Conclusion
Virtual Instances in Liferay DXP provide a flexible way to
support multi-tenancy, enabling organizations to run
multiple portals under one system with independent
configurations.
