Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Memory Limits

30 August 2013 by Simon Seagrave 2 Comments

Windows Server 2012 Memory LimitsThe following is a useful summary table that outlines the physical memory limits found with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (W2K12).  Just as a reminder Windows Server 2012 is only available as an X64 distribution.

Although I’m not a big fan of the new user interface I will be starting to move my virtualization lab based servers over to W2K12 sometime soon.

Windows Server 2012 Version Physical Memory Limit
Foundation 32GB
Essentials 64GB
Standard 4TB
Datacenter 4TB
Storage Server 2012 Workgroup 32GB
Storage Server 2012 Standard 4TB
Hyper-V Server 2012 4TB

      Yes, your application is 32-bit and is therefore limited to the 4GB limit. Use a 64bit version or recompile the application with a 64bit compiler.
