I was asked to come up with some system requirements for adding Project Server 2013 to our existing SharePoint 2013 farm. Is this recommended?
I have heard mixed responses regarding this, in training and on the web, indicating that it is not a good idea to add Project to a heavily used farm. Our current farm consists of three (3) web front-end servers (load balanced), three (3) application servers and two SQL servers (clustered). We have about ten heavily used site collections and many service applications enabled and in use.
Would it be best to create a new farm for Project? My other concern is patching. I've been told that Project has a different patching schedule than SharePoint and that patches for Project have been known to break other features of SharePoint. Is this true?
