I am planning to build my staging [Used mainly for user acceptance testing] and my production environments for SharePoint as follow:-
My system specification is as follow:-
- we have around sixty internal users which will be accessing the SharePoint site.
- we have around fifty external users accessing the SharePoint site.
• For the Staging Environment I am going to have Single-tier deployment which will be running both SharePoint server & SQL server with following specification:-
o Single server
o 24 GB of RAM
o 4 processors
o Visual studio 2012 professional & Team Foundation Server 2012.
o Windows Server 2012
o SQL server 2012.
o SharePoint 2013.
•For the Production Environment I am going to have two Tiered environment, where SharePoint and SQL are on separate machines, with the following specification:-
o 12 GB RAM + 4 processors for the server running SharePoint 2013 server.
o 16 GB RAM + 4 processors for the database server.
o Windows Server 2012.
o SQL server 2012 (for the database server only).
o SharePoint 2013.
So are the above specification for the staging and production environment valid and will be reliable taking into consideration the number of users will be accessing the system [around sixty internal and fifty external users].
