How many server licences do i need

I am designing a small data center with physical servers connected to a SAN which is then backed up to a NAS for backup. The physical server will be running 13 critical application using VMware for high availability. How many window server licences would
i need to purchase. Is it one per physical server? or would i need one for each VM also. 
Thanks 

Hello,
if one VMWare host should run more then 2 VMs you need a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition (unlimited versions from Windows VMs on the host) from Windows or 7 Windows Standard licenses (max. 14 VMs).
Keep in mind that processors count into the license requirements.
"...using VMware for high availability..."
This means that you should have at least 2 VMWare hosts which have the RAM and processors to run in caseof hardware problem from the other host ALL VMs.
So you are now need at least 2 Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter licenses or 14 Standard editions.

  • How many server licenses do I need for SharePoint 2013?

    I am new to the concept of CAL. I am reading about it. I found this linkhttp://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/101914/how-many-server-licenses-do-i-need-for-sharepoint-2013
    Suppose there are 2 users in the sharepoint farm. As per above link we requires 7/8 server license. So my question is do we requires 7/8 licences per user basis (2*7/8) or we requires 7/8 licences once only then we require 2 more licenses for 2 users (7/8 +2)?

    The second option.
    If you have 7 SharePoint servers then you need 7 SharePoint Server Licenses.
    If you have two people in your company who can use SharePoint then you need two Client Access Licenses (7 server, 2 CAL).
    If you had two hundred thousand users who could then you would need two hundred thousand CALs, but the number of server licenses would not change. (7 server, 200,000 CALs).

  • SP500 tape library - how many server/SAN FC interfaces do I need?

    How many server or FC switch interfaces do I need to connect SL500 FC tape library? Let's say we have two FC tape drives installed. Does it mean I need to reserve 3 FC interfaces (one for robot and one for each drive)? Or there is some kind of internal hub/switch which permits to use one FC port to connect them all in a way which is implemented in SL48 library?

  • How Many Server is needed?

    Hi,
    Currently we have 2 servers with installed application as follows:
    Server 1:
    - Hyperion Essbase
    - APS (for redundancy)
    - EAS (for redundancy)
    Server 2:
    - OAS (Oracle Application Server)
    - Hyperion Shared Services
    - Hyperion Planning
    - Financial Report
    - Web Analysis

    We plan to upgrade from version 9.3.1 to version 11.1.1.x
    And will add HFM (Hyperion Financial Management) into the solution.
    We have around 100+ users for Hyperion Planning and 50+ for HFM.
    Questions:
    How many server do we need for our solution. And what should we install on each server?
    Here is what we think:
    Server 1:
    - Hyperion Essbase
    - APS (for redundancy)
    - EAS (for redundancy)
    Server 2:
    - OAS (Oracle Application Server)
    - Hyperion Shared Services

    - APS
    - Workspace
    Server 3:
    - Financial Report

    Server 4:
    - HFM
    Any Feedback is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How many Sql licenses do i need

    hi ,
    With one sql license how many users can connect concorrently to SAP Business One.If there are more than 50 SBO users how many sql licenses do i need to take?
    Thanks
    OmPrakash.

    Hi Om,
    Generally if we install a SQL Server licensed version by default we get 5 user liceses, so i guess u need more no of CAL (Client Access Licenses) and generally 1 CAL would cost u around 3000-5000.
    But when ur talking abt 50 users i suggest u go for the SQL Processor based license which will be cheaper.
    For more information please check the following link

  • How many TREX systems do I need?

    How many TREX systems do I need?
    1 for non-production and 1 for production?
    1 for all systems?
    dev->tst->prd ?
    any help would be appreciated

    Depending on the size and the activity in DEV and QAS, generally one server would be sufficient, just be sure to put a decent amount of RAM into the server (by decent I mean around 16).  You can have both sets of indexes on one TREX instance, and the majority of time, no one knows the difference.
    Here's the caveat, though.  If you're going to be testing with hundreds of users in QA, all performing searches at the same time, then you might want to split them up. 
    Also, depending on the number of documents and searches in production, you might consider a distributed approach there, as well.
    Thank you.

  • I'm going to buy a new iPhone, how many GB's do I need?

    Rather than get a new iPod, I plan to use my new iPhone 4s for my music.  I'll probably have about 800 songs, will use many apps, cruising the internet, watching video, and storing some pictures, bbut probably only around 100 or so.  How many GB's will I need?  8? 16? 32?

    What is the storage capacity of your iPod and what is installed on it besides music?
    A movie purchased from the iTunes store will take up 1+ GB of storage - the longer the movie, more storage space required. The new 4S is available with 16, 32, and 64.
    In regards to storage capacity, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Whatever storage capacity you choose, you won't be able to increase it. You probably won't go wrong with 32GB.

    Now how many Public CA do i need to be able to setup Lync Edge to federate with Skype,.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    You need to have to add the CA where you're getting the public certificate from. By default, most common Trusted CA's are included in to the Windows OS it self and does not need to be added manually.

  • In a vtp domain how many server mode switches can be

    dear sir,
    in a vtp domain how many server mode switches should be.
    what role transpranent mode vtp domain and were we are using it.

    Hi Mukhtar,
    You can have all the switches in server mode in your network but it is always recommended to have atleast 1 and better to have 2 in your network.
    One is required because VTP server is the only switch from where you can modify, add or delete vlan and it will be propogated to all client switch but 2 is recommended to have redundancy incase your one VTP server goes down you will be having another ot take care of your network.
    Talking about VTP mode transparent, this mode will allow you to create,delete and modify any vlans but will not participate in any VTP messages and it will also not propogate its VLAN information to anyone in the network.
    Also if you want to go for extended range of vlan which is above 1005 you have to configure your siwtch in VTP transparent mode only.
    To know more about VTP have a look at this link

  • How many server nodes can you create per instance

    Hi,
    Very often the bottle neck in a java installation (NW04s) is the heap size. In order to increase the heap you simple create new server nodes.
    My question is:
    How many server nodes can you create per instance?
    Is there an upper limit before you have to create a new dialog instance (with a web dispatcher)?
    I can imagine that when you create a new server node you also have to increase the heap and max therad of the dispatcher. Is there any upper limit of the heap size of the dispatcher node ?

    Rasmus , I think you laid out a real good scenario for every one to contribute
    I may be very late but just updating this forum for benefit of everyone who visits this.
    In addition to all the points above one must also consider following things if one decides to add more server nodes to one dispatcher
    1.Garbage collection time
    2.Dispatcher would keep on sending request to node S2 if it is not completely bad and there by impacting all the servernode       so  you might end up restartiing the entire cluster.
    3,Debugging also becomes diffculy as you are not sure on which server node you are within the cluster.
    4.If you have something like F5 which does hear beat monitoring even one server node goes bad F5 will not report anything.
    So in my view one server node per dispatcher is an ideal configuration.
    Over All Dispatcher does not consume more resouces (Disk Space + CPU + memory ) at the same time it will give you maintenance flexibility.
    Nothing is right or wrong ,all these things are based on how your infrastructure set up is.
    Cheers !!

  • Best practice on mailbox database size & we need how many server for deployment exchange server 2013

    Dear all,
    We have  an server that runs Microsoft exchange server 2007 with the following specification:
    4 servers: Hub&CAS1 & Hub&CAS2 & Mailbox1 & Mailbox2 
    Operating System : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64
    6 mailbox databases
    1500 Mailboxes
    We need to upgrade our exchange server from 2007 to 2013 to fulfill the following requirment:
    I want to upgrade the exchange server 2007 to exchange server 2013 and implement the following details:
    1500 mailboxes
    10GB or 15GB mailbox quota for each user
    How many
    servers and databases  are
    required for this migration<ins cite="mailto:Mohammad%20Ashouri" datetime="2014-05-18T22:41"></ins>?
    Number of the servers:
    Number of the databases:
    Size of each database:
    Many thanks.

    You will also need to check server role requirement in exchange 2013. Please go through this link to calculate the server role requirement : http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx
    2TB is recommended maximum database size for Exchange 2013 databases.
    Here is the complete checklist to upgrade from exchange 2007 to 2013 : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    Meanwhile, to reduce the risks and time consumed during the completion of migration process, you can have a look at this proficient application(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that would also be
    a good approach for 1500 users. It will help you to ensure the data security during the migration between exchange 2007 and 2013.

  • Project Server 2010 how many CAL licenses do I need?

    Hey Guys,
    We have Project Server 2010 running for two years now.
    We are preparing for the true-up yearly exercise with Microsoft to count the nbr of CAL licenses we need.
    As Project Server admin I have been asked to provide an access log of the users accesing Project Server.
    Is there a way to know how many users are accessing Project Server so we know how many CAL we need?
    I alreayd read the project server 2010 licensing guide (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/8/8/F88B3241-3E27-4BDD-8A01-ABF2422FB31C/Project%202010%20Licensing%20-%20Licensing%20Guide.pdf)
