Small farm deployment
A small farm deployment can support a small- to medium-sized organization and can be used by a large organization to test Office Project Server 2007. Based on your organizational requirement, a small farm can be deployed in one-tier or two-tier configuration.

• One tier: The front-end Web server, application server, and the database server all reside on the same computer.
• Two tier: The front-end Web server and application server reside together on the same computer, and the database server resides on another computer

Large farm deployment
A medium farm can be increased in size to meet the needs of a much larger company by adding additional servers on the Web and application tiers. The database tier can also be clustered with additional database servers or to include multiple clusters.

A farm can also be integrated with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and use other services such as Search, Index, or Excel Calculation Services.

Large farm deployment is beneficial to organization having over 5000 users. Additional benefits delivered through large farm deployment includes - disaster management, portal collaboration and many more.
