The edition Windows Server 2016 Standard offers just smaller enterprises, which operate virtualized environments only to a small degree and/or use predominantly physical Server, a modern, efficient Server-operating system, which is also Cloud-able and thus fully satisfies their requirements. Compared to its predecessor, this edition offers many new features, including support for switching to a Cloud-based environment, as well as many features that ensure greater stability and security of the infrastructure - through improved protection against network and storage failures.

Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard 16-Core

The edition Windows Server 2016 Standard offers especially smaller companies, which only operate virtualized environments to a small degree or mainly use physical Server, a modern, powerful Server operating system, which is also Cloud-capable and thus fully meets their requirements. Compared to its predecessor, this edition offers many new features, including support for switching to a Cloud-based environment, as well as many features that ensure greater stability and security of the infrastructure - through improved protection against network and storage failures.

Thanks to the familiar interface from Windows 10, the administration of Windows Server 2016 Standard is virtually intuitive. Windows Server 2016 Standard thus offers all the prerequisites for creating complex networks, or for using the server software for a data center in a company to manage IT infrastructures, while improving the security of data through various enhancements.

The decision to purchase the Standard edition of Windows Server 2016 is mainly determined by the need for the available functions or possibilities for virtualization of services. For this purpose, this already provides many important functions for smaller companies to develop and operate stable hyperconvergent infrastructures. For the closer connection of local environments with the Cloud, the Microsoft Azure Services also offer some practical functions here.

With the Windows Server 2016 version, the licensing of the Standard-edition is also exclusively Core-based: Pro Server is always based on 16 cores as a minimum number, so that the 16-Core Package can already be sufficient as a basis to license this conveniently and flexibly.

You can get the 16-Core Package from Windows Server 2016 Standard at Wiresoft as used software. In addition to the great advantage of its lower price compared to new - if this version is still offered as such new at all - Used Software offers the same range of functions in terms of virtualization features as well as in performance and comprehensive protection of data and applications. Detailed information about the most important functions of Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition including the applicable licensing conditions is provided in the following overview.

What features does Windows Server 2016 Standard offer?

Windows Server compared to the predecessor version, 2016 Standard offers a higher speed in the execution of applications, a better Cloud connection and, of course, a number of new functions for the virtualization of servers and Services, which thus support the change to a Cloud environment. With the Standard edition, it is therefore possible to create complex networks that are characterized by greater stability as well as greater protection of infrastructures. For the operation of a data center for the management of the IT infrastructure of companies, additional options for the assignment of user rights as well as new Server roles are available - due to the improved protection in case of network and storage failures, a more secure and efficient management of the entire Server system is possible.

In addition, it is possible to run Windows Server 2016 in the simpler Core application - without the graphical Desktop interface - which significantly improves performance when running on older hardware. Other features of the Standard-version, especially concerning virtualization capabilities, are explained below.

Support for Windows Server containers under Docker

Microsoft now also provides Windows Server containers and Hyper-V containers based on the open source Docker project in this Server-version. Among other things, these enable the virtualization of Server- and Cloud-applications by making all required components available via the container host. This simplifies the deployment of applications, for example.

Nano Server in Windows Server 2016

With Nano Server, companies can now create much leaner Server, because a virtual engine saves about 90% storage space. This feature was developed for the new Windows Server Containers or the Docker extension mentioned earlier. For example, it can be used to create a virtual nano-Server on the Server and then configure it to host Docker containers. Hyper-V clusters can also be created with Nano servers. Nano Server can also be used for conventional server services, for example as a file server.

Hyper-V in Windows Server 2016 Standard

The Standard edition of Windows Server 2016 offers virtualization rights for 2 virtual machines or 2 Hyper-V containers, with a maximum of 24 TB RAM. The available Hyper-V functions offer besides a higher scalability, which is crucial for public clouds, also some storage features, like the iSCSI initiator and the support of Storage Spaces (but not Storage Spaces Direct) for creating a storage pool, as well as Multipath-I/O (MPIO) for higher failover or better load security

Resiliency or better load balancing between connections with failover and load balancing. VM Storage Resiliency also improves availability by increasing tolerance to storage system failures.

This allows multiple, distributed data centers to be linked together even more reliably and efficiently - for high-availability, high-performance Server and clusters - using the Cloud Witness and RDS Connection Broker functions, among others.

Here, Azure offers the advantage of an end-to-end hybrid infrastructure, with uniform functions for identities, security and administration.

Licensing with a Windows Server 2016 Standard 16-Core Package

The licensing of a server with used software like the Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition follows according to the valid Microsoft license regulations. Basically at least a 16-Core Package is necessary for this purpose, because the following rules apply.

Basic Microsoft license terms for the Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition

With the release of the Windows Server 2016 version Microsoft has changed its license model. Thus, a Server with the Standard edition can basically only be licensed based on the physical hardware used in the process. The following provisions apply here:

  • A single Server license always covers 2 physical processor cores.
  • Furthermore, a minimum number of 8 cores Pro processor is always taken as a basis - even if the hardware used actually has less than 8 cores.
  • In addition, Pro physical Server 2 processors are assumed as the minimum number.
  • This results in the minimum number of 16 cores, which corresponds to a 16-Core package.
  • In addition, a Server with more than 16 cores can be licensed with 2-Core packages as a supplement to Windows Server 2016 Standard; these are also available as used software at Wiresoft.
  • In addition, all clients - each User or endpoint - that access the Windows Server 2016 Standard must also be provided with a client access license (CAL). These User and Device CALs for Windows Server 2016 are also available from Wiresoft at low cost as used software.

Further notes on the operation of Windows Server 2016 Standard

Windows Server 2016 instances can be run in either a physical operating system environment (1 running instance ) or a virtual operating system environment (2 running instances).

To take advantage of all the new features in Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2016 can also be installed on a virtual machine on an existing host. However, some features work best on a physical Windows Server 2016 host running Hyper-V.

FAQs about used software at Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition of Wiresoft

The 16-Core package to Windows Server 2016 Standard is generally as usable as used software as a new 16-Core package - if it is still offered at all.
