Whats the difference between a WordPress Multisite & using custom links from the main menu to different subdomains

Hi All

I started off creating a simple website for an IT knowledge base, however I have now started tom explore creating this site into a multi platform use to manage different systems such a change requests, asset management, document repository & IT ticket logging etc.  At this point i'm trying to extend my knowledge.

My thoughts are that I build a site that did this and at some point in the future it was utilised the site would probably break being a single installation.

So do I create multiple subdomains with their own wordpress installations, databases etc and link to each system to spread resources and storage or do I use a Wordpress Multisite which to me sounds very similar but probably more performance efficient by the look of it.

Thank you both for the responses as I will not be using separate database servers and WordPress Multisite will provide a much less complete way of managing this seems to be the way to go.  I think my main concern was database size limits but I will read more into this myself.
