The CAL (Client Access License) Ecosystem
When acquiring Windows Server, understanding access licensing is fundamental. The server license alone is not enough; the users or devices connecting to it require a CAL:
-
User CAL: Ideal for companies where employees use multiple devices (mobile, laptop, PC). The license is assigned to the worker.
-
Device CAL: The most cost-effective option if several employees share a single workstation (e.g., shift work on a production line or reception).
-
RDS CAL (Remote Desktop Services): Essential for remote work. They allow users to access applications and desktops remotely and securely.
Standard or Datacenter? Keys to Your Choice
-
Choose Standard if: Your company operates mainly on physical servers or requires a minimum level of virtualization (maximum of 2 virtual machines per license). It is the most economical option for domain, file, and print services.
-
Choose Datacenter if: Your infrastructure is based on virtualization. With this edition, you can run an unlimited number of virtual machines on a single physical server, plus access exclusive features like Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and shielded storage.
