The test platform has plenty of cores and also has room to add two DIMMs and expand to 128GB RAM (for future/ other use cases.) This particular motherboard has two sets of network ports. We also generally use SATA DOMs for Linux/ FreeBSD boot volumes while we like to use larger SATA SSDs for Windows Server boot drives. In production, we likely would have used a mirrored boot setup. This small test platform has plenty of room to expand.
Motherboard: Supermciro X10SDV-12C-TLN4F+.Processor: Intel Xeon D-1557 12C/ 24T 45W TDP.The test configuration was fairly straightforward but does provide an excellent platform for those using Windows Server 2016 Essentials. We had the motherboard installed in one of our 1U Intel Xeon D test beds that we use for DemoEval systems. We recently had a Supermicro X10SDV-12C-TLN4F+ motherboard in our lab and after running some Linux benchmarks we tried the Windows Server 2016 Essentials on the platform and had a pleasant treat, out-of-the-box hardware compatibility is excellent. As a result, it is meant for small organizations with few users and relatively smaller hardware sets. Windows Server Essentials 2016 is limited to 25 users and 50 devices in AD. With Windows Server Essentials 2016 hitting the market with General Availability, we wanted to try the new software with an Intel Xeon D based system.
