What It Really Means Minimum Cost is 8 of the 2-Core Packs
16 total cores
Same Cost to License: 1U server with single quad-core CPU 2U server with dual 8-core CPUs

Example Comparison Dell PowerEdge R310
Single quad-core CPU = 8 x 2-core packs
Dell PowerEdge R720 Dual 8-core CPUs = 8 x 2-core packs
Dell PowerEdge R730 Dual 12-core CPUs = 12 x 2-core packs

Virtualization Licensing Datacenter = Unlimited VMs Standard = Up to 2 VMs
Need more?• License as if additional server per 2 VMs
R730 Example with 4 VMs Dual 12-core CPUs Need 24 total 2-core packs• 12 for physical server and first 2 VMs• 12 for additional 2 VMs
