Abstract: This paper proposes a high level maturity in SaaS applications based on virtualization technologies, in which the hardware virtualization focuses on providing the flexible on-demand hosting environment, the application virtualization used to meet the scalable application deployment requirements and data virtualization solves data integration and unified data access problems to ensure multi-tenant efficiency. In order to realize the configurability, a method based on metadata and JMX is used to manage the metadata so that changed metadata can be hot deployed immediately during runtime. A case study of a SaaS application for supply business in automobile industry is introduced with the discussion of approaches to higher level maturity model.
