Installing Team Foundation Server in a multi-tier or multi-machine environment
• Multi-tier environments can enhance the availability, scalability, and performance of your application tier.
• To benefit from multiple application-tier servers, you should ensure that your initial deployment of TFS includes the following characteristics: – The application tier and the configuration database are
installed on separate servers.– You used a domain account for the Team Foundation
Server service account (TFSSERVICE).– Network Load Balancing (NLB) is deployed.
The TFS Version Control Proxy
• If you have developers at a remote site who are sharing code with developers at the main site, you might save bandwidth by caching version control files at the remote location.
• Team Foundation Server Proxy distributes popular version control files from its cache at the remote site, rather than having multiple developers from the remote site each download the same file from the main site.
• Your team at the remote site works like they always have, without managing which version control files get loaded into the cache.

TFS Proxy System requirements
• You can install Team Foundation Server Proxy on a server that is running one of the following server operating systems:– 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008 with SP2 (Standard
or Enterprise Edition) – 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard or
Enterprise Edition) – 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2012
Configuring TFS Proxy to use more disk space• To change the amount of disk used by the TFS Proxy,
you need to edit the PROXY.CONFIG file
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Version Control Proxy\Web Services\VersionControlProxy <CacheLimitPolicy> <!-- Cache limit expressed as percentage of disk space --> <PercentageBasedPolicy>75</PercentageBasedPolicy> <!-- Cache limit expressed as MB --> <!-- <FixedSizeBasedPolicy></FixedSizeBasedPolicy> --></CacheLimitPolicy>
