When planning a server deployment, which factors help you decide which operating system edition to install?
- The roles you intend the server to perform
- The virtualization strategy you plan to implement
- The licensing strategy you plan to use
Explain the edition of Server 2012 R2: DataCenter
This edition is designed for large and powerful servers with up to 64 processors and fault-tolerance features such as hot add processor support. As a result, this edition is available through the Microsoft volume-licensing program and from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) bundled with a server.
Explain the edition of Server 2012 R2: Standard
This edition includes the full set of Windows Server 2012 features, varying from the DataCenter edition only by the virtual machine instances permitted by the license.
Explain the edition of Server 2012 R2: Essentials
This edition includes nearly all the features in the Standard and DataCenter editions, except for Server Core, Hyper-V, and Active Directory Federation Services. This edition is limited to one physical or virtual server instance and a maximum of 25 users.
Explain the edition of Server 2012 R2: Foundation
This reduced version of the operating system is designed for small businesses that require only basic server features such as file and print services and application support. This edition includes no virtualization rights and is limited to 15 users.
