Microsoft server 2008/2012 Filestore cals?
Hi all,
I'm wanting to build a filestore to replace an old linux box. am I correcting in thinking with server 2008/2012 you need a Cal per device that will access the server (this will be a pure file server) because if so this makes the cost of the box and storage jump from about £400 to about £3500
