The present invention relates to a multi-tenant technology. The disclosure provides a method for processing a file access request to a multi-tenant application by using a file proxy and a corresponding file proxy apparatus, the method comprising: intercepting a file access request; converting the file access request based on a predetermined file isolation model; and transmitting the converted file access request to an operating system. By using this invention, the necessity of modifying a source code of an application so as to enabling a single-tenant application to support an operation in the multi-tenant model may be reduced. The present invention further provides a multi-tenant file system adapted for a multi-tenant application. In cooperation with the multi-tenant system, the method and file proxy apparatus according to the present invention may provide transparent support to fulfill security isolation and access control of tenant files with different SLAs.
