There will be less than 25 users.

Additional, it's not just the size of the farm or number of users, but the value of the access to the data that should help you make this decision. Do you know data redundancy? Do you need 24/7/365 access? Take these factors in to consideration. Although a single server farm it technically possible, is it enough?<br />

Hope that helps

We are a small IT firm and I want to spin up a SharePoint 2013 server. &nbsp;One of our techs is saying that we need three servers to set up SharePoint 2013 the &quot;way it's supposed to be&quot;.<br />
<br />
I cannot find that in any documentation I have seen or read. &nbsp;Of course, I could see if I already have an SQL server, just using it rather than spin up another one, but really? &nbsp;Three servers?<br />
<br />
Thoughts?
