Hi!
I got 5 SQL Servers 2008R2 (2x CPUs with 96-384Gb of RAM) with total 1500DBs and around 10Tb of allocated data. Now I´m forced to upgrade to 2012 and 2014, but the old hardware is overkill.
Is it possible to consolidate this to a large SQL AlwaysOn cluster?
We pros/cons could it be to have 2 or 4 nodes?
2 or 4 sockets servers?
My goal was to use ~20 cores Enterprise license on active server.
Thanks for all input, Magnus

A 4 node cluster with AlwaysOn groups is not what you' class as large.
With a 2 node cluster you could have an Availability group that has 2 replicas only
With a 4 node cluster you could have an Availability group that has 4 replicas only.
It would pay to take a read through my stairway series on this site, starting at this link
