As a very basic question, I am wondering if someone can explain what the effect would be of doing a multi tenant setup as opposed to managing several repositories in one DB?  
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am as suing that If you have four tenants, would you have four completely separate instances, each with their own staff and public interface at a designed URL?  Is that correct?
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or would it be possible to have one public interface through which information in all four tenants could be searched and displayed side by side?  In addition to separate public interfaces for each tenant?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I guess what I am asking is what use cases does the specific implementation of the multi tenancy that was put into aspace allow for?</div>
