the network address translating of the first globally unique IP address, to which the communication from the second tenant was transmitted, is performed on the subnet that is public and is non-routable on the Internet.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the network address translations are source network address translations (SNATs).

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:

creating, by the computer device, a first segment of the subnet for use with the first dedicated environment; and

creating, by the computer device, a second segment of the subnet for use with the second dedicated environment,

wherein the first segment is isolated from the second segment.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising determining, by the computer device, that a first communication from the shared resource is directed to the first tenant based on the communication from the first tenant being sent from the first non-globally unique IP address.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising network address translating, by the computer device and in response to the first communication from the shared resource, the first non-globally unique IP address to the first globally unique IP address with a proxy resource that resides in the first dedicated environment.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising determining, by the computer device, that a second communication from the shared resource is directed to the second tenant based on the communication from the second tenant being sent from the second non-globally unique IP address.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising network address translating, by the computer device and in response to the second communication from the shared resource, the second non-globally unique IP address to the first globally unique IP address with a proxy resource that resides in the second dedicated environment.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second non-globally unique IP address is not visible to the first tenant.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the computer device includes software provided as a service in a cloud computing environment.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first dedicated communication network is a first virtual private network (VPN),

the second dedicated communication network is a second virtual private network (VPN), and

the first VPN and the second VPN are different networks.

13. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

receive a communication from a first tenant of a multi-tenant computing environment over a first dedicated communication network, the communication being transmitted to a first globally unique internet protocol (IP) address in a first dedicated environment in a service provider environment, the first dedicated environment being dedicated to the first tenant;

receive a communication from a second tenant of the multi-tenant computing environment over a second dedicated communication network, the communication from the second tenant being transmitted to the first globally unique IP address in a second dedicated environment in the service provider environment, the second dedicated environment being dedicated to the second tenant;

network address translate the first globally unique IP address, to which the communication from the first tenant was transmitted, to a first non-globally unique IP address that is locally unique in the service provider environment;

network address translate the first globally unique IP address, to which the communication from the second tenant was transmitted, to a second non-globally unique IP address that is locally unique in the service provider environment;

provide the communication from the first tenant access to a shared resource in the service provider environment using the first non-globally unique IP address; and

provide the communication from the second tenant access to the shared resource using the second non-globally unique IP address.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein

the first dedicated communication network connects the first tenant to the first dedicated environment, and

the second dedicated communication network connects the second tenant to a second dedicated environment.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the network address translations are performed on a subnet that is public and is non-routable on the Internet.

16. A system comprising:

a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;

program instructions to receive a communication from a first tenant of a multi-tenant computing environment over a first dedicated communication network, the communication being transmitted to a first globally unique internet protocol (IP) address in a first dedicated environment in a service provider environment, the first dedicated environment being dedicated to the first tenant;

program instructions to receive a communication from a second tenant of the multi-tenant computing environment over a second dedicated communication network, the communication from the second tenant being transmitted to the first globally unique IP address in a second dedicated environment in the service provider environment, the second dedicated environment being dedicated to the second tenant;

program instructions to network address translate the first globally unique IP address, to which the communication from the first tenant was transmitted, to a first non-globally unique IP address that is locally unique in the service provider environment;
