Enterprise Edition running in Windows Standard Edition

  • Hi,
    Speaking about a project for virtualizing some physical SQL Server hardware instances the team in charge comes with the following question:
    Do could we use Windows Server 2012 standard to run  SQL Server Enterprise edition ???,  I know that microsoft says that yes it is a viable configuration ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx)  I said that yes we can.
    But  dear friends am I losing something  ??? with this answer that  I give, I am not an Windows Server expert, some recommendation from your personal experiences  running SQL Server Enterprise Edition in lower edition host OS systems?
    Thanks a lot for you ideas

  • Nothing says Enterprise on runs on enterprise.  You will be restricted in certain areas, like memory, perhaps number of cores supported, but it should not be a problem unless you have multi-terabyte databases that have to support.
