Data-Tier Server Requirements for Team Foundation

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)
