Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hardware Requirements Microsoft’s hardware requirements for Windows Server 2012 are absolutely ridiculously low.
Odds are we will see something like Windows Server 2012 Foundation find its way onto HP Microserver N40L style servers. Gone are the days of Small Business Server and Windows Home Server.
Here’s the deal, we know from the list that Foundation is for small businesses and really is targeting small single socket servers while Datacenter is meant for much larger installations. Windows Server 2012 Versions and Key Features I made a small table with only differences to make this a quick view.
Many rows essentially say the same thing, that a feature is available across all versions. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Versions and FeaturesĮvery single table I have found thus far comparing Windows Server 2012 versions and their features have a ton of extraneous rows. Let’s have a look at the features, hardware requirements and recommendations for each version. After I saw the official Microsoft Windows Server 2012 hardware requirements I thought Microsoft was crazy because it would work with several generations old hardware and the expectation is that this version would last at least until 2016 given a four year per release cadence. I have been covering server components formally for years now and figure this would be a great thing for this site’s readers to see as Microsoft’s system requirements are rather paltry. As those responsible plan for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 deployments, I wanted to pass along some relevant information and my hardware recommendations for each version. Gone are Web, Small Business Server, Enterprise and HPC server versions from Windows Server 2008 R2. There are four new versions of Windows Server 2012: Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter. We are very close to the release of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and I thought I would take a moment to discuss both hardware requirements and my recommendations.
