The Windows Server 2022 Device CAL - 3-Year Subscription provides a seamless and secure server connection for businesses. This licensing structure is geared towards devices, not individual users, making it ideal for shared workstations or equipment. By opting for a three-year term, organizations benefit from a long-term, cost-effective solution that reduces administrative efforts associated with frequent renewals.
With a Device CAL, any number of users can access the Windows Server from one device, making it highly efficient for businesses with shift workers or multiple staff using the same terminal.
The Device CAL aligns with the Windows Server's emphasis on security, offering robust measures to protect against cyber threats. This includes features like secure-core servers that shield against firmware attacks and sophisticated encryption standards for safeguarding data.
Moreover, the Device CAL takes advantage of the hybrid capabilities intrinsic to Windows Server 2022. It allows businesses to extend their on-premises solutions into the cloud with Azure, enabling better agility and access to a suite of cloud services. This hybrid approach is particularly valuable for organizations looking to balance on-site and cloud computing, offering flexibility in managing workloads and resources.
The three-year Device CAL also ensures that businesses are fully compliant with Microsoft's licensing requirements. It provides peace of mind that all device access to server resources is authorized and legitimate, avoiding potential legal or operational issues related to software licensing.
