Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is perfect for  highly virtualized data center environments.

The Datacenter edition is intended for companies that require an unlimited number of Virtual Machines and Hyper V containers. With them they will be able to test software in a secure and isolated space of the physical computer on which the license is installed. This allows you to test applications, programs, etc. without having to worry about the consequences it can have for the physical computer.

Versions: Choosing Physical or Digital Cores?

What are Cores and why should they be licensed? If you have any questions about what are Cores I leave you with this article we have written, alternatively we are always happy to offer you support via chat, phone or email.What difference can licensing Physical or Digital Cores make? Well, it is a decision that each buyer has to make for themselves. There are big differences in terms of price, processing power and use of available resources. Below, we explain in a little more detail what the differences between the two are.

Licensing Physical Cores

In essence, licensing by Physical Cores is the more expensive option, but it allows you to make maximum use of the processing capacity of the equipment on which the Datacenter is installed. Because each Physical Core of the equipment on which the Datacenter is installed is licensed, the only limit placed on the server and the amount of VM's, Containers, Data it can handle are the limits of the hardware. It also dramatically increases the speed of server response and allows the licensing of the same number of cores in VM's (Virtual Machines) and Containers without additional costs.

Licensing Digital Cores

On the other hand, licensing by Digital Cores also offers many advantages. Firstly, the cost is much lower and secondly, the installation is much simpler because it is not required to license each Physical Core. The server will run in basic version but still offers access to an unlimited number of VM's and Containers. If you wanted to license the cores of the Virtual Machines and Containers you want to operate inside the server you would have to purchase additional licenses for each container and VM you want to license. This does not prevent the use of them, the only limitation is the replication of the Datacenter Server software on them. If you license Physical Cores on the physical machine, the VM's and Containers Cores can replicate the Datacenter server without any problem.

What's New in Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Datacenter

Server licenses in the Datacenter version are licensed per core. If you license by physical cores of a server it will be necessary to license all the Physical Cores of the server on which the license is hosted. With these requirements met, the DataCenter version offers rights to  an unlimited number  of operating system centers (OSEs) or an unlimited numberof  Hyper-V containers and Windows Server.

Digital Core licensing requires that all Digital Cores are licensed, i.e. the Cores of installed Virtual Machines. It is the most economical option if you are not going to have a large number of Virtual Machines, because each Virtual Machine and its cores have to be licensed. With the licensing of the Physical Nuclei this would not be necessary.
