Microsoft Announced and released Windows Server The product is available through MSDN, and also available for download as days trial. Already during the MS Ignite, Microsoft has announced the release is imminent… and it was finally released as eval, the October 1st. We have reported on the different features coming in the Windows Server , like the improvements within the deduplication engine and step-by-step configuration of the deduplication.
The scalability has been improved over the Windows Server … true, but is that really necessary anymore? If I remember right, already during the vSphere 6.
Scalability isn't much an issue. This is quite insane. To download, go to this link. Docker Inc. We wrote a post s about licensing costs rising in this release. Microsoft announced the Windows Server licensing in December , where per-core licensing rather than the per-CPU licensing will be used. Well, today, modern CPUs carries more cores than in the past, so if Microsoft has decided on per-core licensing, it is not for nothing. More cores will require to you to give more money to Microsoft….
Licenses for servers with 8 cores or less per proc will be same price as the R2 two-proc license price. Core licenses will be sold in packs of 2 for incremental licenses needed above the required 8 cores per proc. Core licenses will be sold in packs of two licenses. Each processor will need to be licensed with minimum of 8 cores which is 4 two-core packs. Each physical server, including 1 processor servers, will need to be licensed with minimum of 16 cores which is 8 two-core packs.
Additional cores can then be licensed in increments of two cores one two core pack for gradual increases in core density growth. Standard Edition provides rights for up to two virtual OSEs when all physical cores on a server are licensed minimum of 8 cores per proc and 16 cores per server. Our Simulation table based on supposition so far, as no exact guidelines on licensing has been released so far — since december :.
It is pretty much clear that Microsoft, whether you're planning to deploy new servers for virtualization, which will have a lot of cores, then you'll have to probably pay more than you had to in the past. It may be interesting to compare Microsoft and VMware licensing side by side, when the official licensing docs will be made available to the masses.
This post will get updated with more information when they become available. Connect on: Facebook. Feel free to network via Twitter vladan. Finally Microsoft released Windows Server I was eagerly waiting for this windows server IN windows server Microsoft has introduced very interesting features specially in Hyper V.
I am agree with you the scalability has been improved over the Windows Server … but is that really necessary because server is already supporting large number of memory and CPU.
