Hi all,
We are looking to update the DB for one of our products to SQL 2012 (Currently SQL 2008 on Windows 2008R2). I have been looking for information on whether there is any advantage to installing on Windows 2012 vs installing on Windows 2008R2.
As far as I can tell, the advances in Win 2012 seem to be largely around hyperV and adding more horsepower, our db is biggish (A couple TB, currently running on 2 node cluster, each 16procs w/ 128gb ram) but not BIG nor anywhere near the current windows limits in hardware specs.
We are doing this as part of a hardware refresh but I am getting some pushback upgrading to the latest Windows if I cannot point to advantages A, B, and C. (to overcome the 'Devil you know' arguments)
Can anybody point me to any information on advantages running SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2012 vs 2008R2?
Thanks
