We did a first document management POC on Office 365 for one of our customers. This POC is composed of one document library containing PDF files (less than 1 MB for each file) and set of SharePoint lists connected to each others with lookup columns.
At the origin of this POC, no performance requirement was set. Now, our customer has defined a performance requirement for supporting 100 000 documents, thus: - around 100 GB of documents in the same library - a maximum of 500 000 items in sharepoint lists.
I know that for an "On Premise" SP2013 instance, this can be supported: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office…
But, what about Office 365? I saw in this MSDN article that the O365 boundaries are much more restrictive. For instance, regarding the site collection storage limit, a boundary of 5,000 items in site libraries, including files and folders is specified. This does not match at all our performance expectations. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/SharePoint-Online-s…
What are your suggestions for supporting such performance requirements in O365 ?
Thanks for your help,
