Titan is a leading provider of Microsoft licensing via the SPLA (Service Provider Licensing Agreement) scheme, the only scheme approved for the hosting industry. With SPLA there are no upfront costs or volume license commitments, you only pay for what you use on a monthly basis. In addition you always have access to the latest available versions of software without having to pay one-off upgrade fees.

Of special interest is Server 2008 Datacentre which allows for an unlimited number of Windows virtual machines (any edition) running per licensed processor. This is highly beneficial for virtualised environments such as Hyper-V and VMware.
