Sounds like VLAN as supported on some switches. That is really an admin thing not a security thing. A firewall with multiple ethernet segments is probably a good idea. Either one ethernet port on the firewall for each customer server, or at least an individual switch port, is probably best to prevent one customer from snooping another customer's traffic.
