Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard - the Server/CAL solution

When it comes to Microsoft SQL Server licensing, there are two different licensing methods to choose from. On the one hand the Server/CAL licensing with access licenses, on the other hand the Core licensing with the processor cores as the most important factor. The Server/CAL variant is usually the ideal solution if the number of accessing users and devices can be determined with certainty. If you opt for Server/CAL licensing, you need a license for each physical and virtual operating system instance running Microsoft SQL Server 2016. Instances in containers must also be licensed. The number of processor cores is completely irrelevant for this. If you buy Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard online via our store, you need separate access licenses for accessing devices and users, which are called Client Access License (CAL). Of course, you can also buy Microsoft SQL Server 2016 CALs at a low price from BestSoftware.

For Core Licensing: Buy Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 2 Core

With Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 2 Core, you opt for core licensing that does not require separate client access licenses. Any number of end devices and users may access a core-based SQL Server. This makes core licensing the better choice, especially for web applications with an indefinite number of users. Each processor core on which Microsoft SQL Server 2016 is run must be licensed. It must be taken into account that at least 4 cores must be licensed per server. The standard sale size is two-core units, which you can buy cheaply from us with Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard 2 Core.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2016 features at a glance

The in-memory feature was first introduced in SQL Server 2014, allowing high-speed data loading without locks or session state issues. However, initially this feature had some limitations. In SQL Server 2016, this feature has been significantly improved and now includes support for foreign keys. This comes in addition to an increase in size limits for in-memory tables from 256 gigabytes to 2 terabytes. SQL Server 2016 adds support for one of the most widely used languages in web applications today: Java Script Object Notation (JSON). The growth of public cloud platforms has also increased demand for balancing application workloads between on-premises environments and those in the public cloud. In some ways, the Stretch Database feature available with the Microsoft SQL Server 2016 license provides the best of both worlds. For example, you can now move some portions of your tables to the Azure SQL database in the cloud. When you query these tables, the query optimizer splits the workload between the on-premises data and the data in the cloud
