Question

A company named Contoso, Ltd. has the physical servers shown in the following table:
Server NameConfiguration
Server1A single processor that has eight cores
Server2Two processors that each have four cores
Server3Four processors that each have eight cores
Contoso needs to acquire Windows Server 2016 Datacenter licenses for the servers. How many licenses should be assigned to each server? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Explanation

Windows Server 2016 Datacenter licensing requires a minimum of 8 cores per physical processor and a minimum of 16 cores per server. Each license covers 2 cores.

Server1: 1 processor * 8 cores = 8 cores. The server minimum of 16 cores must be met. So, 16 core licenses are needed. Server2: 2 processors * 4 cores/processor = 8 cores. Each processor meets the 8-core minimum. The server minimum of 16 cores must be met. So, 16 core licenses are needed. Server3: 4 processors * 8 cores/processor = 32 cores. Each processor meets the 8-core minimum. The server has 32 cores, which is above the 16-core minimum, so 32 core licenses are needed.

Therefore, the assignments are: Server1: 16 Server2: 16 Server3: 32
