My customer has a private windows domain with 2 locations, main and the branch. The main office has 2 VMWare host servers that are utilizing shared storage. It is hosting a virtual domain controller, virtual file server, virtual email server and a Virtual SQL server. On physical host “A”, They have a domain controller and SQL server. On physical host “B”, They have a file server and email server. They have the high availability capacity in VMware to move all virtual servers from host “A” to host “B” in the event of a hardware failure. They have to purchase SQL 2014 Standard Edition. I am told I have to purchase software assurance for their scenario. Is this correct?
