When you plan for the hardware that is required for a Project Server 2013 deployment, as a starting point, you should determine the usage requirements for your Project Server 2013 environment. These variables include the number of projects, tasks, users, average tasks per project, and so on. By using the How datasets affect performance and capacity in Project Server 2013 tables, you can compare the numbers from your environment to the data for small, medium, and large datasets defined in their corresponding table. By selecting the dataset that most resembles the usage requirements in your environment, you can use the recommended topology and associated hardware requirements for your topology as a starting point when you plan for hardware for your Project Server 2013 deployment.


The minimum hardware requirements in this section are recommended in which only the required services to run Project Server 2013 are enabled. Be aware that enabling additional SharePoint Server 2013 features in the farm may require more resources. For more information about hardware and software requirements for SharePoint Server 2013, see Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013.


The following are the recommended hardware requirements for a Project Server 2013 small dataset scenario. See How datasets affect performance and capacity in Project Server 2013 for more information about how the small dataset size is defined.


Project Server 2013 runs as a service application on SharePoint Server 2013, and usage by other service applications generates additional resource usage (processor, RAM, and hard disk). While the minimum recommended requirements are suitable for a small dataset with light usage, more substantial datasets and usage patterns may require additional hardware resources. For a single-server deployment with a small dataset, we advise 16 GB of RAM to assure a high level of perceived performance.


The following are the recommended hardware requirements for a Project Server 2013 medium dataset scenario. See How datasets affect performance and capacity in Project Server 2013 for more information about how the medium dataset size is defined.


Additionally, if the SharePoint Server 2013 instance on which Project Server 2013 is coexisting with also experiences heavy usage (for example, you are not using the instance specifically for Project Server 2013 functionality), we recommend a separation of the ProjectService database and the SharePoint Server 2013SharePoint Server 2016 content databases. This requires you to place them on two dedicated computers that are running SQL Server.


The following are the recommended hardware requirements for a Project Server 2013 large dataset scenario. See How datasets affect performance and capacity in Project Server 2013 for more information about how the large dataset size is defined.


Project Server 2013 runs as a SharePoint Server 2013 service application. Therefore, SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise is a prerequisite for Project Server 2013 installation. Prior versions of SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation 2013 are not supported.


When you are planning system requirements for Project Server 2013, you must also consider hardware and software requirements for the client users who need to connect to the server. These client users include the following:


Project Web App in Project Server 2013 supports the same web browsers that are supported for SharePoint Server 2013. For more information about supported browsers for SharePoint Server 2013, see Plan browser support (SharePoint 2013).


Windows 8.1 is a release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on August 27, 2013, and broadly released for retail sale on October 17, 2013, about a year after the retail release of its predecessor, and succeeded by Windows 10 on July 29, 2015. Windows 8.1 was made available for download via MSDN and Technet and available as a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and Windows RT users via the Windows Store. A server version, Windows Server 2012 R2, was released on October 18, 2013.


In February 2013, ZDNet writer Mary Jo Foley disclosed potential rumors about "Blue", the codename for a wave of planned updates across several Microsoft products and services, including Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Outlook.com, and SkyDrive. In particular, the report detailed that Microsoft was planning to shift to a more "continuous" development model, which would see major revisions to its main software platforms released on a consistent yearly cycle to keep up with market demands. Lending credibility to the reports, Foley noted that a Microsoft staff member had listed experience with "Windows Blue" on his LinkedIn profile, and listed it as a separate operating system from 8.[11][12]


In early May, press reports announcing the upcoming version in Financial Times and The Economist negatively compared Windows 8 to New Coke.[16][17] The theme was then echoed and debated in the computer press.[18][19][20] Shaw rejected this criticism as "extreme",[21] adding that he saw a comparison with Diet Coke as more appropriate.[22]


On May 14, 2013, Microsoft announced that "Blue" was officially unveiled as Windows 8.1.[23] Following a keynote presentation focusing on this version, the public beta of Windows 8.1 was released on June 26, 2013, during Build.[24][25][26] Build 9600 of Windows 8.1 was released to OEM hardware partners on August 27, 2013, and became generally available on October 17, 2013.[27][28] Unlike past releases of Windows and its service packs, volume license customers and subscribers to MSDN Plus and TechNet Plus were unable to obtain the RTM version upon its release; a spokesperson stated that the change in policy was to allow Microsoft to work with OEMs "to ensure a quality experience at general availability."[29][30] Microsoft stated that Windows 8.1 would be released to the general public on October 17, 2013.[31] However, after criticism, Microsoft reversed its decision and released the RTM build on MSDN and TechNet on September 9, 2013.[32] Microsoft announced that Windows 8.1, along with Windows Server 2012 R2, was released to manufacturing on August 27, 2013.[31] Prior to the release of Windows 8.1, Microsoft premiered a new television commercial in late-September 2013 that focused on its changes as part of the "Windows Everywhere" campaign.[33]


Shortly after its release, Windows RT 8.1 was temporarily recalled by Microsoft following reports that some users had encountered a rare bug which corrupted the operating system's Boot Configuration Data during installation, resulting in an error on startup.[34][35] On October 21, 2013, Microsoft confirmed that the bug was limited to the original Surface tablet, and only affected 1 in 1000 installations. The company released recovery media and instructions which could be used to repair the device, and restored access to Windows RT 8.1 the next day.[36][37]


At the 2014 Build conference, during April, Microsoft's Terry Myerson unveiled further user interface changes for Windows 8.1, including the ability to run Metro-style apps inside desktop windows, and a revised Start menu, which creates a compromise between the Start menu design used by Windows 7 and the Start screen, by combining the application listing in the first column with a second that can be used to display app tiles, whereas Windows 8.0 used a screen hotspot ("hot corner"). Myerson stated that these changes would occur in a future update, but did not elaborate further. A distinction is the removal of the tooltip with the preview thumbnail of the Start screen.


The suite of pre-loaded apps bundled with Windows 8 were changed in Windows 8.1; PC Settings was expanded to include options that were previously exclusive to the desktop Control Panel, Windows Store was updated with an improved interface for browsing apps and automatic updates, the Mail app includes an updated interface and additional features, the Camera app integrates Photosynth for creating panoramas, and additional editing tools were added to the Photos app (while integration with Flickr and Facebook was completely removed). A number of additional stock apps were also added, including Calculator, Food and Drink, Health and Fitness, Sound Recorder, Reading List (which can be used to collect and sync content from apps through OneDrive), Scan, and Help + Tips.[65][74] For Windows RT users, Windows 8.1 also adds a version of Microsoft Outlook to the included Office 2013 RT suite. However, it does not support data loss protection, Group Policy, Lync integration, or creating emails with information rights management.[75] Windows Store is enabled by default within Windows To Go environments.[76] On January 31, 2020, Microsoft released the new Microsoft Edge web browser for Windows 8.1.[77]


The 64-bit variants of Windows 8.1 no longer support processors which do not implement the double-width compare and exchange (CMPXCHG16B) CPU instruction (which the installer reports as a lack of support for "CompareExchange128"). A Microsoft spokesperson noted that the change primarily affects systems with older AMD 64-bit processors, and that "the number of affected processors are extremely small since this instruction has been supported for greater than 10 years."[88] It mostly concerns Socket 754 and Socket 939 Athlon 64 from 2004 and 2005; the Socket AM2 CPUs should all have the instruction.[citation needed] Brad Chacos of PC World also reported a case in which Windows 8.1 rejected Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 and a Q9550S despite their support for this instruction, because the associated Intel DP35DP motherboard did not. These changes do not affect the 32-bit variants of Windows 8.1.[89] 2ff7e9595c
