SharePoint 2013 System Requirements

August 1, 2012

Bjorn Furuknap is again hot on the trail of recent SharePoint activity.  With the release of SharePoint 2013, much discussion has taken place surrounding system requirements.  While Microsoft initially made a report that requirements would not change from 2010, it seems that is not entirely truthful when referring to SharePoint Server 2013.

Furuknap gives the rundown:

Short story: If you plan on doing development work on SharePoint Server 2013, you need a minimum of 24 GB of RAM. That’s assuming you are NOT going to need Visual Studio, which will only add to that number.

Wow, we were overwhelmed by this number.  Most small organizations are not going to want to invest in a separate and beefed-up machine just for SharePoint Server work.  In addition, customization is discouraged with SharePoint 2013, so developer work will come at more of a premium as well.

For organizations that need to overcome these challenges, we recommend a smart third party solution like Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise.  Serving as a compliment to an existing infrastructure, or as a standalone solution, Mindbreeze can run on the Cloud, is highly scalable, and receives an efficiency update every quarter.  See what users are saying about Fabasoft Mindbreeze, and why they were not willing to settle for SharePoint.
