These recommendations on this page are provided for initial planning purposes only. They should not be substituted for a system evaluation by your Microsoft Certified Partner. Selecting the optimal system configuration for your business requires consideration of your organization's specific business data requirements and growth plans. Typically, hardware requirements increase as the number of users accessing the application and the amount of data stored in the database increase. Better hardware can result in better performance and productivity. Conversely, insufficient hardware may result in substandard performance.
