Datacenter vs Standard — Which Edition Do You Need?

Datacenter is the right choice when you need to run more than 2 Windows Server VMs on a single physical host. It removes the VM cap entirely and adds enterprise-only features: Storage Replica, SDN, Storage Spaces Direct, and Shielded VMs. Standard covers up to 2 VMs and suits smaller environments. If your workload is virtualization-heavy or you're building a private cloud, Datacenter is the correct edition.

Who Is This For?

• Enterprise IT teams running highly virtualized environments with dozens or hundreds of VMs
• Datacenter and private cloud operators building hyper-converged or software-defined infrastructure
• VDI deployments hosting large numbers of virtual desktops for end users
• Disaster recovery architects leveraging Storage Replica for synchronous replication
• Service providers running multi-tenant hosting environments on Windows Server

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine Microsoft license?
Yes. All licenses sold through TrustedTech are authentic and activate through Microsoft's official servers.

How many VMs can I run?
Unlimited Windows Server VMs on the licensed physical host. Each physical server requires its own Datacenter license.

How many cores does this cover?
This is a 16-core license, which is the minimum required per server (8 cores per processor). For servers with more than 16 cores, purchase additional 2-core add-on packs.

Do I still need CALs?
Yes. Users or devices accessing the server require Windows Server CALs. If using Remote Desktop Services, RDS CALs are also required — both are sold separately.

Delivered digitally to your email after purchase — typically within minutes.

Is this compatible with Azure?
Yes. Includes Azure Hybrid Benefit for seamless integration with Azure cloud services and potential cost savings on Azure VMs.

Can I run Linux VMs?
