Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard 16 Core

Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard 16 Core is Microsoft's brand new cloud-ready server operating system. The networking of PCs and the administration of such networks as well as the provision of data and web hosting are only a few tasks for which server systems in your company can be used. Windows Server 2016 comes with many new functions and offers, among other things, a new licensing model, which is no longer measured on the processors but on the cores.

Minimum license requirement: 8 core licenses per processor, 16 core licenses per server. For further details, please refer to the licensing data sheet.

New features in Windows Server 2016:

• Increased speed and flexibility through the use of cloud technologies
• "Zero-Trust" security approach to protect the system against current threats
• Failover clustering to increase resilience during temporary storage or network failures
• New server roles and rights for secure administration of the server system
• Minimal Nano Server design without graphical user interface for improved performance and reduced maintenance requirements
• Windows container for rapid application development with maximum flexibility

Stable infrastructure with Windows Server 2016

The Windows 10 based server OS Microsoft Windows Server 2016 offers more stability, security and innovation for your infrastructure and supports you in moving to a cloud environment. The various integrated protection levels ensure that your system and all data within it is secure. You can also easily set up complex networks and develop your own data center. However, the Standard Edition does not provide Shielded Virtual Machines, Software Defined Networking (SDN) capabilities, and Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica. These functions are only available with the Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition.

New licensing model for the first time with Windows Server 2016

In previous versions, both the standard and the data center license are valid for two physical CPUs each. The new licensing model involved a change from a Pro-CPU to a Pro-Core licensing. It is assumed that a server has at least 8 cores per processor and at least two processors in total, i.e. a total of 16 cores. Per server 16 cores are the minimum, per CPU at least 8 cores must be licensed. Thus the license costs for servers with up to 4 processors and up to 8 cores remain identical. Better equipped servers must be upgraded with additional licenses. The supplementary licenses are available in steps of 2, 4 and 16 cores each.
