Tenant Moves and Acquisitions

This section describes how to move internal tenants and acquire external tenants for all tenants managed in Strata Cloud Manager.
If you're a managed security service provider (MSSP) or distributed enterprise with a multitenant hierarchy, you can now move a tenant that is part of your tenant hierarchy to a different location. You can do this by moving an internal tenant. Any tenant is considered an internal tenant if it's within your tenant hierarchy, and you have superuser access to the source and target tenants. It's possible to move tenants within the same top-most, root-level, parent tenant or intermediate tenants of your hierarchy. You would move an internal tenant primarily in the case of testing, demonstrations, reorgs, correcting mistakes, and more.
If you're a managed security service provider (MSSP) or distributed enterprise with a multitenant hierarchy, you can also acquire and manage tenants that are not part of your current tenant hierarchy. You can do this by acquiring an external tenant. Any tenant is considered an external tenant if it isn’t within your current tenant hierarchy. You can only acquire a top-most, root-level, parent tenant through an external tenant acquisition. You would acquire an external tenant primarily in the case of corporate acquisitions or mergers or reorgs.
