Can I host MS sql servers?

I have a customer who wants to run Microsoft from our servers, with licences for their computers. He specifically asked for "hosted sql servers (inc ms sql server licences)"

Is that possible with Plesk?

I know that this is not the best forum, but without doubt it is the one that produces the most speedy and sensible advice from people!

Can anyone advise for me?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have Plesk instaleld on a Linux server. I guess I would have to purchase a Windows server and put it in my rack, would I not? And I presume that that would not require a Plesk licence? And I guess ASL cannot protect a Windows server?

SQL server can really only be ran on a windows platform, and while there is plesk for windows (which would require al icense) you dont have to use that to offer a hosted sql platform. ASL doesnt run on windows yet so you would have to have an inline device to protect anything downstream.

You can use an ASL server as that inline device however
