Benefits and Features of Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition
Improvements in Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition
A natural progression from Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition coincides with the Windows 8 release. While its predecessor was built around Windows Vista, Server 2012 makes use of the new Metro UI.
Though Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition uses the Metro GUI, Microsoft encourages the use of PowerShell and Remote Server Administration Tools. In removing certain GUI elements, your server speed increases, as does the reliability.
Aside from the immediate visuals, Windows Server 2012 hosting makes advances in virtualisation, though with more focus on the Datacenter Edition. The Standard Edition is ideally suited to a minimalised virtualisation working environment.
Partition sizes in Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition have been increased to 64TB, 512GB of RAM on a virtual machine and 2TB of RAM on the host.
As previously mentioned, both the Standard and Datacenter Editions are very similar. However, one of the greatest differences is the actual licensing. The Standard Edition is limited to two virtual instances and one host per licence. The Datacenter Edition has unlimited virtual instances. All licences are provided for x2 processors per licence.
There are some features unavailable in the Standard Edition – namely certain Active Directory Rights Management and Remote Desktop Services require additional CAL licences. For more information, please ask our dedicated team.
