Hi,
It depends. If you don’t have additional requirements, you can purchase Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition.
E.g. Failover Cluster feature is not available in Windows Server 2008 Standard edition, so if you want to set up a cluster, you have to purchase Windows
Server 2008 Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition.
For more information, you can refer to:
