At some point you may ask yourself whether upgrading to FileMaker Server to host your databases is the way to go. Perhaps you are seeing performance slowdowns, you need to host more databases or more users than FileMaker Pro alone can handle, or you want to have scheduled backups of your databases. Basically you can serve a total of 50 databases with FileMaker Pro alone, but the number of users depends on how many databases each user has open. For instance, FileMaker Pro will share 10 databases with up to 10 concurrent users or, in some cases, you could share one FileMaker Pro database with up to 25 concurrent users, with the number of users dropping as you share more databases. (There’s a chart in the Connecting Data article listed above that can help you sort this out.)
Your capacity depends on, among other things, how many databases and users you have or, if you plan ahead, will have. If you’re getting toward the upper limit of what FileMaker Pro’s sharing alone can do, you probably need a dedicated server with FileMaker Server installed.

FileMaker Server can:
Certainly, the ability to serve 125 databases to 250 users is a big plus, but automatic backups are a great feature too. When I was first starting my consulting firm, I bought FileMaker Server with a credit card (and couldn’t pay it off for quite a while) but never regretted it as I needed to revert to backed-up databases several times. You will also discover that remote administration capability (done right from within any copy of FileMaker Pro!) is also a convenient, killer feature.
