This section discusses the minimum hardware recommendations for Lync Server 2013 servers.

Note

Lync Server 2013 is only a 64-bit application and requires a 64-bit capable processor. This is generally not an issue with any modern hardware, but be sure to verify any legacy hardware supports a 64-bit operating system before attempting to use it for a Director.

The Lync Server 2013 Director memory recommendation is as follows:

• 8GB RAM

The Lync Server 2013 Director disk recommendations are as shown here:

• 10K RPM HDD

• High-performance solid-state drive (SSD) with performance equal to or better than 10K RPM HDD

• 2x RAID 10 (striped and mirrored) 15K RPM disks for database data files

The Lync Server 2013 Director network recommendations are as listed here:

• Dual 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) network adapters (recommended)

• Single 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) network adapter (supported)

Note

When multiple network adapters are being used, it is recommended to use them only for fault tolerance. This means network adapters should be used for failover only and not be combined for greater throughput.
