Hi, we're interested in the following questions.
We need to buy a Dell server that has 2x 8 Core / 16 Threads processors
They provide 2x 8-core Windows Server 2022 Standard licenses with the server.

Or it can be 2x 10 cores Dell server
And we must buy license for them.

We need to dyploy 5 virtual servers on that server via Hayper-V

  1. Windows Server 2022 Standard Processor: Minimum 4 Core CPU:
  2. Windows Server 2022 Standard Processor: Minimum 4 Core CPU:
  3. Windows Server 2022 Standard Processor: Minimum 4 Core CPU:
  4. Windows Server 2022 Standard Processor: Minimum 4 Core CPU:
  5. Windows Server 2022 Standard Processor: Minimum 2 CPU Cores:
    One of these 4 Core CPU servers will have Active directory service installed; the other servers will be registered to this domain as well. This domain will need several folders to be shared with the other servers.
    One of the servers must be a web server that must have access to the Internet. Others install A enterprise server software.

    Only count the host cores. Virtual machine resource allocations does not matter.

    Some general info

    • Each host needs to be licensed.
    • A minimum of 8 core licenses is required for each physical processor and a minimum of 16 core licenses is required for each server.
    • Core licenses are sold in packs of two.
    • Standard Edition provides rights for up to 2 Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For each additional 1 or 2 VMs, all the physical cores in the server must be licensed again.
    • DataCenter Edition provides rights for unlimited Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed.

    A Windows Server CAL is a license that grants access Windows Server. CALs are used in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server OS licenses to allow Users and/or Devices to access and utilize the services of that windows server

    • User CALs allow a single user access to Windows Server from an unlimited number of devices
    • Device CALs allow an unlimited number of users to access Windows Server from a single device
