Over the last few weeks we have completed quite a few installs of SharePoint 2010 and one of the questions we get asked time and time again is what is required to run SharePoint 2010, so I thought through this post I would write down exactly what is needed so I can point customers to this blog post and they would then have a reference chart of what is needed in their environment.
Hardware
| SharePoint Server | |
| Processor | 64 Bit 4 Cores |
| Ram | 8GB for production environment
16GB if you can |
| Hard Drive Space | 80GB |
| SQL Server | |
| Processor | 64 Bit 4 Cores |
| Ram | 8GB for production environment
16GB if you can |
| Hard Drive Space | 80GB for System Drive
200GB for Data Drive |
Software
| SQL Server | |
| Microsoft SQL Server 2005 | 64 Bit Edition with Service Pack 3 |
| Microsoft SQL Server 2008 | 64 Bit Edition With Service Pack 1 and Cumulative Update 2 |
| Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 | No Patching Required |
|
Patch levels for Microsoft SQL server 2008 and links can be found in this post |
|
| Windows Server |
| 64 Bit Version of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, Data Center or Web Server editions with Service Pack 2 |
| Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, Data Center or web Server editions |
I do hope this simple post helps in your decision on SharePoint 2010.
