Windows Server 2016 Datacenter
Windows Server 2016 Datacenter is specifically tailored for highly virtualized datacenter and cloud environments. It supports existing workloads while easing the transition to cloud computing with new technologies. This operating system enhances security and incorporates Azure-inspired innovations for improved business operations.
The licensing model for Windows Server 2016 includes Cores + Client Access Licenses (CALs). Each user or device accessing a licensed Windows Server edition requires a Windows Server CAL, or a Windows Server and Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CAL. A Windows Server CAL provides access to any edition of Windows Server of the same or earlier version.
With the Azure Hybrid Use Benefit, businesses can seamlessly transition workloads to the public cloud while utilizing existing Windows Server licenses with Software Assurance. This benefit reduces costs by applying existing licenses to Azure virtual machines, offering significant savings compared to purchasing new licenses.
