Comparison: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard vs. Datacenter

Bottom line: If you anticipate heavy virtualization or need advanced security features like Shielded VMs, the Datacenter edition may be more cost‑effective in the long run. For most mid‑size deployments that require only a couple of VMs, Standard delivers the same core OS capabilities at a lower price.
