Hello,

I'm trying to find the right solution for a customer problem.

They must use Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard edition, all other system and software are tested and compatible with this, migration to Windows Server 2016 / 2019 will be scheduled in 2020.

The system will be hosted inside 2 Physical Server with 1 Socket and 10 Core.

Each Physical Host will contain 5 Virtual machine with VMware Standard Esxi 6.5,

all OS are Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition English :

Host1DC1 ( 1 Vcpu, 4gb ram, 40 gb HD )

Host1App1 ( 2 Vcpu, 8gb ram, 100 gb HD )

Host1App2 ( 2 Vcpu, 8gb ram, 100 gb HD )
