Explanation

Multitenancy means that multiple customers' data and workloads coexist on shared physical infrastructure in the cloud. This is the most complicating factor for eDiscovery because isolating one tenant's data without exposing or disrupting other tenants' data is technically and legally difficult. A legal hold or data collection request targeting one organization could inadvertently touch another tenant's data, raising privacy and confidentiality concerns. The other characteristics-measured service, broad network access, and portability-present challenges but are far less legally entangled than multitenancy.
