Article contains information to help you understand the tested performance and capacity limits of SharePoint Server 2010, and offers guidelines for how limits relate to acceptable performance. The test results and guidelines provided in article apply to a single SharePoint Server 2010 farm.

- Boundaries, thresholds and supported limits
In SharePoint Server 2010, there are certain limits that are by design and cannot be exceeded, and other limits that are set to default values that may be changed by the farm administrator. There are also certain limits that are not represented by a configurable value, such as the number of site collections per Web application. - How limits are established
