Frequently asked questions
Why buy Windows Server 2008 R2 today?
The main reason is compatibility. Many indispensable industry applications (legacy software) are only certified for this or older server versions. It is also an extremely affordable, resource-efficient solution for running on older hardware or in closed test environments.
Are there still security updates from Microsoft for this version?
No. Microsoft's official support period has ended, and no public security updates are provided any more. We therefore strongly recommend running this server in an isolated network environment that is separated from the internet by a strong firewall.
What does the "R2" in the name mean?
"R2" stands for "Release 2". It is a revised and significantly improved version of the original Windows Server 2008. It is based on the Windows 7 code (instead of Windows Vista) and brought important new features such as Live Migration in Hyper-V and the Active Directory Recycle Bin.
Do I also need client access licences (CALs) for this server version?
Yes. A separate Windows Server 2008 CAL is required for each user (User CAL) or each device (Device CAL) that accesses the server. The CAL version must be at least the same as the server's.
What is the difference between the Standard and Enterprise editions?
The main difference is virtualisation rights and memory support. The Standard edition allows one virtual machine to run, while the Enterprise edition allows up to four VMs and can manage significantly more RAM.
