The hardware configuration that you set up for your Teaming site should be based on the number of active users that the Teaming site must support.
Server machines can be physical or virtual.
You can perform a Basic Installation to set up a single-server configuration, as described in Section 3.0, Planning a Basic Teaming Installation and Section 4.0, Setting Up a Basic Teaming Site.
You can perform a Basic Installation to set up a multiple-server configuration, but the remote database must be created manually and in advance of performing the installation, as described in Section III, Multi-Server Configurations and Clustering.
