Which version of Windows Embedded Server 2012 R2 is Right for you?
Windows Embedded Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Windows Server® 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Datacenter Edition is ideal for dedicated server solutions that provide benefits from the unlimited virtualization available with this edition. Windows Server® 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Datacenter is identical to the Windows Server® 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Standard edition with all the same features. The only difference between these two editions is the number of virtualization rights. While the Standard edition provides a limited virtualization rights (2 to 4 virtual instances depending on 2-CPU or 4-CPU SKU) while the Datacenter edition (2-CPU as well as 4-CPU SKUs) provide unlimited virtualization rights.
Examples of Datacenter server appliance would be:
?A high density turnkey solution that consolidates all the server workloads that serve a large PACS system for storing, retrieving, monitoring and analyzing image data.
?A large server appliance that runs several historian servers for plant automation that provides consolidation space and energy efficient and high performance utilizing the new Hyper-V technology for better load-balancing and higher
Windows Embedded Server 2012 R2 Standard
Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems builds on Windows Server 2008 R2 for Embedded Systems, expanding existing technology and adding new features to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) deliver solutions with increased reliability and flexibility.
OEMs can save time and reduce costs with new virtualization tools, management enhancements, Server Core, and features that are designed specifically to work with embedded devices or client computers running Windows 8 and Windows 8 Embedded.
Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Standard requires CAL (client access license) purchase in order to require access the server data through client devices. Like all Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems offerings, Windows Server Standard is based on the same core software as the general purpose versions of Windows Server 2012 R2.OEMs can use Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded System to build dedicated server appliances that leverage the powerful features included in the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Windows Embedded Server 2012 R2 System Standard Essentials
Windows Server ® 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Standard Essentials (Windows Server Essentials) is a SKU ideal for dedicated server solutions that provide networking or security services. Windows Server Essentials is a lower cost offering than Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems Standard because the licensing restricts server functionality to specific scenarios that typically do not involve providing services to end-users (e.g., file services, print services, writeable domain controllers, etc.).
Examples of dedicated server functionality that would be appropriate for Windows Server Essentials include an anti-virus server, e-mail filtering server, network traffic monitoring server, or custom embedded-server applications that do not provide end-user services such as monitor, keyboard, mouse to build headless hardware appliances that requires minimal support and resources. Because services are not provided to end-users, Windows Server Essentials does not require the purchase of client-access licenses for the server functionality.
Like all Windows Server 2012 R2 for Embedded Systems offerings, Windows Server Essentials is based on the same core software as the general purpose versions of Windows Server 2012 R2 and comes only in Standard edition. OEMs that use Windows Server Essentials can build dedicated server appliances that leverage the smaller footprint of Windows Server 2012 R2
