#### Multi-tenancy

The Things Stack Cloud is a **multi-tenant** environment. This means that while each customer has their own isolated network, the underlying infrastructure is shared with other customers.

#### Clusters

The Things Stack Cloud is a multi-cluster deployment. This means that while your account, login and entity information is stored in a central location, you can connect your gateways to a cluster closer to the physical location of your gateways, and route all your IoT traffic in that cluster. Thi significantly reduces latency and improves the performance of your gateways.

The Things Stack Cloud currently has the following clusters:

| **Cluster ID** | **Name**        | **Location**      |
| -------------- | --------------- | ----------------- |
| `au1`          | Australia 1     | Sydney, Australia |
| `as1`          | Asia 1          | Tokyo, Japan      |
| `eu1`          | Europe 1        | Dublin, Ireland   |
| `eu2`          | Europe 2        | London, UK        |
| `nam1`         | North America 1 | California, USA   |
