Enterprise Edition also comes in a bit edition for Intel. Windows Server , Datacenter Edition is designed for infrastructures demanding high security and reliability. Windows Server is available for x86 bit, x86 bit and x64 bit processors. It supports a minimum of 8 processors and a maximum of 64 processors, however it is limited to 32 processors when run on bit architecture.
Windows Server , Datacenter Edition, also allows limiting processor and memory usage on a per-application basis. Windows then uses this table to optimize memory accesses, and provide NUMA awareness to applications, thereby increasing the efficiency of thread scheduling and memory management.
Windows Server , Datacenter edition, also supports 8-node clustering. Clustering increases availability and fault tolerance of server installations, by distributing and replicating the service among many servers. Windows supports clustering, with each cluster having its own dedicated storage, or all clusters connected to a common Storage Area Network SAN , which can be running on Windows as well as non-Windows Operating systems. The SAN may be connected to other computers as well.

Instead, Microsoft now only charges for the virtual images of Windows Server System products actually running on a customer network. Microsoft also enables customers to have four virtual machines running on top of Windows Server R2 Enterprise Edition and Windows Server "Longhorn" Datacenter Edition at no extra cost.
As part of its continued focus "to take a leadership role in virtualization," Muglia said Microsoft is offering a special promotion for Windows Server R2. Virtual Server R2 is expected to be generally available in the same time frame as Windows Server R2, said Jeff Price, a senior director in the Windows Server division at Microsoft.
