vCenter database /manage question

We are running vCenter 5.5 on a separate Windows 2012 SQL server.  Now we need to deploy another vCenter to scale out our environment.

My question is can I use the existing SQL server and create a separate database for new vCenter?  Is it OK to have vCenters connecting to same SQL server but separate databases?

Also, now we are about to have 4 vCenters .. two in primary and two in secondary DC.  They're not in linked mode nor we want it in linked mode.  Then how can I browse all my VM's from one place? instead of going through 4 vCenters?

Thanks in advance.

That should not be a problem since each vCenter will use a different ODBC connector.
