Project 2007 and Team Foundation Server 2008

[sc]

We are in the process of setting up TFS 2008 and Project 2007. We are
leaning towards installing them onto the same server. Does have one have an
educated opinion regarding this deployment scenario or any known
pitfalls/limitations to be aware of?

 

[Paul Conroy]

Things to be taken into consideration before being able to give any
recommendations:

Number of Users\Resource
Number of Projects
Application availability\performance SLAs
User usage patterns
Volume of Documents\workflows
Access points (Intranet/Extranet/Internet)
Server Virtualisation ?

etc

Users/Resources = 100
Project Power Users = 3
Projects = 6-8
Access Points = 1 site, intranet only
Application Availability/Performance = 24x7;
Volume of Documents\Workflows
Hardware= HP Quad Proc (pretty beefy machine)

In terms of Application availability and Performance SLA i'm not sure what
you mean or where to get that info. The applications need to be available
24x7. In terms of performance we need rapid response times for most
procedures. I know cube building can be resource intensive so that could be
scheduled during off peak.

I guess i'm more curious if there are any known incompatabilities with these
two systems being housed under one roof. Any pitfalls, oddities to be aware
of in terms of having Sharepoint 3.0 as the backbone for both TFS and
Project. I'm pretty confident we'll have performance covered.

Thank you

If you want 24/7 availability you're going to need more than one server !

I'm not aware of any compatability issues with running these two
applications on the same server, but then I've never ran this config. As
you've got a beefy box, why not virtualise them on two seperate images, that
way you'd could be certain of the interoperability between the two.
