The guidelines presented here are appropriate for most Team Foundation Server data-tier deployments. They have been tested and validated specifically for environments that contain fewer than 2,000 users on a single Team Foundation Server. The server that is running Team Foundation Server should have a reliable network connection with a minimum bandwidth of 1 Mbps and a latency maximum of 350ms.
Hardware Recommendations
| Configuration | CPU | HD | Memory | Comments |
| Fewer than 20 users | single processor, 2.2 GHz | 8 GB | 1 GB | Shared with the application tier (single-server) |
| 20 to 50 users | single processor, 2.2 GHz | 30 GB | 1 GB | Shared with the application tier (single-server) |
| 50 to 100 users | single processor, 3.4 GHz | 30 GB | 1 GB | Shared with the application tier (single-server) |
| 100 to 200 users | single processor, 3.4 GHz | 40 GB | 2 GB | Shared with the application tier (single-server) |
| 200 to 400 users | dual processors, 3.4 GHz | 80 GB | 2 GB | Shared with the application tier (single-server) |
| 400 to 800 users | dual processors, 2.8 GHz | 80 GB | 2 GB | Separate from the application tier (dual-server) |
| 800 to 2,000 users | quadruple processors, 2.8 GHz | 150 GB | 4 GB | Separate from the application tier (dual-server) |
