how many entities supported - scalability - performance

I administer a datacenter with equipment owned and equipment of  customers too.
I am interested in having a global inventory including all, and restrict the view of the inventory, so that the administrators see everything and one customer only see its own equipment.

From what i could read, the way to do this is with entities, i tested them and work ok.

So the question is, how many entities can be defined without affecting noticeably the performance of the system

Also, i would like to know if there is an alternative way to do this, with less impact for the system

In summary my concern is about performance. If when i have many entities i will have problems i prefer to leave the idea of giving my customers views of the inventory

Re: how many entities supported - scalability - performance

My current glpi instance has 83 separate entities, most are linked to a dedicated ocs inventory database.  Current version is 0.80.61.  When all our sites have been migrated to glpi we will host 400+ entities.

Hundreds of entities is not an issue... just need to correctly tune MySQL and Apache.
