Sharepoint 2013 Boundaries and Limits

SHAREPOINT 2013 BOUNDARIES AND LIMITS

In SharePoint Server 2013, 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.
