Symantec changed the licensing where if you had 10 Windows guests and 10 Linux 
guests, you USED to need two Enterprise Client licenses.  This was a 6.5 
limitation.

In NBU 7, no longer.  Way to go, finally something right in licensing.  It's an 
Enterprise Client per PHYSICAL host, regardless of guest OS type.
This is licensed per physical CPU or tier.

Because you have Enterprise clients, you need to have an Enterprise master and 
enterprise media servers.  Again per CPU/tier, and that price adds up.

Point being, buy as many cores as you can afford!  Don't buy a quad CPU box.
