>From the FAQ 2. What changes are planned for the packaging, pricing and licensing of Windows Server 2016 and System Center 2016? In addition to the virtualization rights differentiation between Standard and Datacenter Editions, Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition will include new advanced software-defined datacenter capabilities designed for highly virtualized private and hybrid cloud environments. Some new features unique to Datacenter Edition include an Azure-inspired networking stack and Azure-inspired storage enhancements including Storage Spaces Direct. Standard Edition will continue to provide the core functionality of Windows Server inclusive of Hyper-V. The licensing of Datacenter and Standard Edition will move from processors to physical cores which aligns licensing of private and public cloud to a consistent currency of cores and simplifies licensing across multi-cloud environments. Licenses for servers with 8 cores or less per proc will be same price as the 2012 R2 two-proc license price. Core licenses will be sold in packs of 2 for incremental licenses needed above the required 8 cores per proc. The Standard Edition of Windows Server and System Center will license up to 2 VMs when all of the physical cores on the server are licensed.

Going from proc-based to core-based. Isn't that lovely? The procs we got in our new blade servers have 18 cores each. Lovely.

Wasn't this only 8 cores and 32gb ram for ConfigMgr 2012? That's certainly what my site server has now; not sure how I'm going to go getting more than that. Daniel.

I'm referring specifically to pre-requisites, site design etc rather than "features". James.
