Server Operating Systems

The different Windows Server product families include Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter, each offering different features and capabilities. Essentials is designed for small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices, while Standard is designed for businesses of all sizes and includes more advanced features such as virtualisation and cloud integration. Datacenter is designed for larger businesses and organisations with a focus on scalability and high availability.

Choosing the correct Microsoft server operating system is essential to ensure that businesses and organisations get the right tools and features to meet their needs and that Microsoft’s licensing requirements are also satisfied. For standard and datacenter editions, licensing is calculated based on the number of physical processors and the number of cores per processor installed in the server. Considerations such as the number of users, applications, and workloads should also be taken into account when choosing the correct operating system. Additionally, businesses should consider their future needs and growth potential to ensure that they choose an operating system that is scalable and flexible.
