We currently have an intranet running SharePoint 2007. We have a farm of 3 SP Servers:
2 WFEs
1 App/CA/Search indexing
Separate SQL cluster for the databases.
We are currently planning on project to move to SP2013 and attempting to decide if we need to keep 3 SP Servers or if we can go down to 2.
We have 70 – 100 employees and are a very document centric organization. SP Search indexes our full farm and fileserver. We utilize SP for most tasks (document libraries/lists, etc.) and have a few custom SP solutions/applications.
Can our 2013 Farm consist of 2 WFEs with one of those also acting as App/CA/Search indexing without degrading performance?
Thanks
