How to Install Dedicated SharePoint Server

Three common SharePoint installation framework are-single server with built-in database installations, single-server farm installations, and multiple-server farm installations. You have a hardware and the software requirement, as suggested by office web app services, to have secured installation of SharePoint under these scenarios. Thus if you plan to use SharePoint or other integration channels, such as SQL server or Exchange sever, efficiently, it becomes crucial for you to meet the hardware and the software needs for the same.

Hardware requirement based on the location of physical server

When two data centers are configured to form a single farm, it is called stretched farm. It is only possible when data centers for an enterprise are in the close proximity of data center. Efficient functioning of stretch farm scenarios require highly consistent intra-farm latency of <1ms and bandwidth speed of at least 1 gigabit per second.

Hardware requirements for web servers, application servers, and single server installations

Different installation scenarios have different requirements. But the prerequisite is the enough hard disk space for base installation and sufficient space for diagnostics such as logging, debugging, creating memory dumps, and so on.Single server with a built-in database or single server that uses SQL Server, for example, has the following deployment type and scale criterion-minimum services for development scenario for development or evaluation installation of dedicated SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013. It further requires a RAM of 8 GB, 64-bit, 4 cores processor and 80 GB hard disk for system drive.

Deployment type and scale criterion for single server with a built-in database or single server that uses SQL server requires running Visual Studio 2012 and the minimum recommended services for development environments for development or evaluation installation of SharePoint Server 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2013 running Visual Studio 2012. It further requires a 10 GB, 64 bit 4 core processor and hard drive of 80 GB.

Hardware requirement for database server

Hardware requirements for database servers in the framework of multiple servers in the farm are:

·         A processor of 64 bit with 4 cores for small deployments and 8 cores for medium deployment.

·         A RAM of 8 GB for small deployment and 16 GB for medium deployment.

·         A hard disk of 80GB for system drive.

Small deployment here means less than 1000 users and medium deployment means between 1000 to 10000 users.

Software requirements

Software requirements for SharePoint 2016 have to be differentiated according the framework, which are basically three:

·         Single server with built-in database

·         Server farm with a single server in the farm

·         Server farm with multiple servers in the farm
