What is the difference between multi-user and multi-user solutions?

Question

I suppose I understand this from the point of view of hardware, when several people "share" the same processing and memory for their decisions. But I look at gmail and facebook, these multi-level solutions? Is it true so long as my solution can support multiple users, its multi-user?

You can read this post regarding your question.

Multi-tenant and multi-tenant
Any system can have multiple users. In a multi-user system, multiple users can use an application (such as Exact Synergy). The term "multi-user" does not imply anything to the architecture of the system. On the other hand, although a multi-user system is a multi-user system, multiple renting is something about the architecture of the system: namely, that multiple users use the same application and database instance. Please note that it is possible to have a multi-user system that is not multi-user.
