The key advantage: you get the licence for an unlimited number of virtual machines (VMs) and exclusive features for the software-defined datacentre. Buy your core-based perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and remove the licensing limits of your datacentre.

The exclusive features of the Datacenter edition

The Datacenter edition includes all the features of the Standard version and adds key technologies for scalability and automation.

Limitless virtualisation & automation

This is the core advantage of the Datacenter licence. Consolidate your server estate without compromise.

• Unlimited VMs & Hyper-V containers: Run as many virtual machines and Hyper-V containers on one licensed host as your hardware resources allow.
• Maximum server consolidation & ROI: Achieve the best possible utilisation and the highest return on investment for your physical servers.
• Automatic Virtual Machine Activation (AVMA): Simplify licence management dramatically, as Windows Server VMs activate automatically on an activated Datacenter host.

Software-defined datacentre technologies

Build a flexible, resilient infrastructure with technologies that were previously available only to large cloud providers.

• Storage Spaces Direct (S2D): Create highly available, software-defined storage systems using low-cost local hardware (e.g. SATA/NVMe SSDs).
• Storage Replica: Implement synchronous block-level storage replication for disaster recovery scenarios without data loss.
• Network Controller & Software Defined Networking (SDN): Centralise and automate the management of your entire network infrastructure, both physical and virtual.
• Host Guardian Service for Shielded VMs: Benefit from the highest level of security for your VMs, which blocks access even for host administrators.

If your virtualisation needs are limited to a maximum of two virtual machines per host and you do not need software-defined features, the more affordable Windows Server 2016 Standard edition is an excellent alternative.
