One server would do fine. (depending the the version of software)
Since you didn't suggest what was needed I assume nothing was going to be done with the server.
Now if your users require some processing or file access or concurrent connections or application or transaction processing then that would be a horse of a different color.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
