Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Key Global is usually used for virtualization as it allows you to put a lot of virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical host. Datacenter, the same as Standard, needs CALs, but it allows for an unlimited number of virtual machines to be executed.
However, the cost of a Datacenter license is approximatively 7 times the cost of a Standard license, so if you are running less 14 VMs on a physical server it is generally less costly to get just the Standard.
