LeaUK · 7th March 2008

Today I discover that MS has pulled 'Unauthenticated' from Win Enterprise since 1st March, and now we're left with just Web or DataCentre under SPLA..

DataCenter has the advantage of being able to run unlimited OSs (assuming locked to a socket) all for the same single cost, but how many can you really run from quad cores. Obviously I'm thinking from a VM platform's perspective and of course it dependable on individual workloads.

But, for a lightly loaded server I would expect 8 at absolute max.. assuming you can populate at least 8 Gigs of RAM also...

Any thoughts?

Regards
Lea
