Compared to the previous version, the Windows Server 2022 server software offers many innovations in the three important areas of security, application platform and data migration. Especially the edition Windows Server 2022 Datacenter offers again a Plus with Hyper-V, SDN, Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica and the support of Shielded Virtual Machines, for the creation of highly secure virtualization infrastructures, with: Support for an unlimited number of virtual machines Plus a Hyper-V host Pro license Unlimited Storage Replica for both synchronous and asynchronous replication of volumes between servers or clusters for disaster recovery purposes Hyper Converged Infrastructure for software-defined consolidation of computing, storage and networking functions in a cluster Virtual OSE (Operating System Environment) Shielded Virtual Machines (SVM) Software-defined networking (SDN) Software-defined storage (SDS) Further features of Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Edition In addition, there are numerous other functions that take into account the growing requirements in the operation of complex networks. Higher security in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Windows Server 2022 now has new layered security to provide enterprise servers with comprehensive data protection and Services protection. This is provided by the following new features and enhancements, among others: TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) provides a hardware-based store for cryptographic key protection, including measurement of system integrity as well as verification of the trustworthiness of code when the Windows server is started. This module is also used in BitLocker drive encryption. Secured-Core-server processors provide firmware protection, with Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) technology supporting startup measurement and verification, and Direct Memory Access (DMA) protection for isolated driver access to memory. In addition, Secured-Core-Server supports code integrity according to VBS (Virtualization-based Security) as well as HVCI (Hypervisor-based Security). Here, VBS uses various features to virtualize hardware, thereby creating a secure working memory area that is isolated from the normal operating system, thus protecting the Server in particular from risks such as those posed by attacks using cryptocurrency mining. VBS also supports Credential Guard to store user login information in a virtual container that the operating system does not have direct access to. HTTPS and TLS 1.3 are enabled by default on Windows Server 2022 Datacenter to establish secure connections. TLS1.3 (Transport Layer Security) represents the latest version of this security protocol most commonly used on the Internet in encrypting data to provide a secure communication channel between two endpoints. Secure DNS supports DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) in encrypting DNS queries using HTTPS protocol to prevent eavesdropping and DNS data tampering, which also contributes to traffic security. SMB (Server Message Block) uses AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM for encryption, these are automatically used in Windows Server 2022 as soon as a connection is established with another computer that also supports these standards. Encryption using SMB Direct and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) provides higher bandwidth as well as lower latency in Windows Server 2022 for direct storage, storage replica, Hyper-V and SQL Server. Failover clusters in Windows Server 2022 allow differentiated encryption control for CSV (Cluster Shared Volumes,) and SBL (Storage Bus Layer). Container platforms in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter When using Windows containers, there are also various optimizations in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, for example, for application compatibility as well as for the Windows container user interface with Kubernetes. For Windows containers, the image size has been reduced by up to 40%, increasing startup time by 30% and improving performance. The use of Kubernetes has been enhanced with broader support in host processes for configuring nodes as well as IPv6 , as well as in implementing network policies with the open source Calico software. The Windows Admin Center update now simplifies container creation for .NET applications. Storage and Migration Services in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Edition Among the many improvements in Windows Server 2022 are those in Storage Migration Services, making it easier to migrate storage to Windows Server as well as other source storage locations to Azure. The Windows Server 2022 Storage Migration Server orchestrator now provides the following options: Migrate local users or groups to Windows Server Migrate storage from or to failover clusters Migrate between standalone servers and failover clusters Migrating storage from Linux servers that use the open source Samba application Migrate to Microsoft Azure networks Migrate NetApp CIFS servers as well as FAS arrays to Windows Server Other features: For storage repair, customizable speed now provides better control of data synchronization: resources can be optionally allocated to repairing data copies (resilience) or running active workloads (performance). This allows clusters to be managed more flexibly and efficiently. Storage bus cache provides storage on standalone servers, connecting faster media such as SSD or NVMe to slower ones such as HDD, improving read and write performance and therefore efficiency. New SMB compression eliminates the need to manually compress files when transferring them over the network to enable faster transfers on busy networks. Individual improvements in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter In addition to the improvements already listed, the new Windows Server 2022 release offers a host of other optimizations that also enhance the performance of Server: AMD processor support for Nested Virtualization now provides more options in environments to run Hyper-V on a Hyper-V virtual machine (VM). Microsoft Edge replaces Explorer. Edge is based on Chromium open source, providing more security than Internet Explorer. There are performance improvements for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) through the use of TCP HyStart++, which reduces packet loss, and with RACK (Recent ACKnowledgment) to reduce retransmit timeouts (RTO) during retransmissions. RSC (Receive Segment Coalescing) optimizes the performance of virtual switches in Hyper-V by aggregating packets in the hypervisor network, allowing them to be processed as larger segments. This reduces CPU cycles and also improves network traffic performance, among other benefits. Hardware requirements for running Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Windows Server 2022 is based on the operating system Windows 10.

Licensing of Windows Server 2022 Datacenter  is always Core-based, whereby 16 cores are always used as the minimum number Pro Server . Larger Server can be licensed additionally with 2-Core packages. This way you can easily and flexibly extend your license requirements. At Softwarehandel24 you can find the Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 2-Core  package as used software - at a significantly lower price than the corresponding new software - which offers all Datacenter-typical features regarding functionality, performance and security. Detailed information about the powerful features of Windows Server 2022 Datacenter  as well as the Microsoft licensing terms with 2-Core packages is provided in the following overview. Windows Server 2022 Datacenter - for virtually unlimited virtualization The edition Windows Server 2022 Datacenter  raises the possibilities of virtualization - as well as the security of data and applications - to a new level: in addition to many enhancements and additions to features already known from the previous version, it has the ability to create software-defined HCI (hyperconverged) infrastructure platforms, which offer many advantages in Server- and Desktop-virtualization, because they are not only easier to implement and manage, but also to scale, simplifying the deployment of even complex IT infrastructures. What added value does Windows Server 2022 Datacenter offer? Basically, the Windows Server 2022 Edition Datacenter  offers the maximum in virtualization options - which is why it is particularly suitable for companies where virtualization plays an important role alongside the associated higher IT workloads. In the Datacenter edition, the number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers that can be run is unlimited, with a RAM limit of 24 TB. For this, the following important features are also available with maximum functionality: Enhanced protection in the Cloud with Shielded Virtual Machines Shielded VMs (Virtual Machines) enable the creation of highly secured virtualization infrastructures. Virtual Server are thus secured in such a way that data and applications stored in a public Cloud are reliably protected against unauthorized access or use. Existing VMs can also be converted to Shielded VMs and protected Linux VMs can also be created. The installation of Shielded VMs is done with the Server-Manager, in the Windows Admin Center or via PowerShell. Software Defined Networking The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) feature enables centralized configuration of both physical (such as routers, switches and gateways) and virtual network devices and elements (such as Hyper-V virtual switches, Hyper-V network virtualization and RAS gateways) as well as their dynamic management in Windows Server 2022  . Existing SDN-compliant devices can be used to achieve greater integration between the physical and virtual networks, as network layers are no longer tied to network devices. Windows Server in this regard, 2022 Datacenter Edition provides the ability to peer and seamlessly connect two networks, as well as firewall monitoring. With SDN is possible, for example: Dynamically create, secure and connect networks Define policies to control physical and virtual networks Scale network policies Accelerate deployment of workloads Minimize network security risks Encrypted Networks for secure encryption of virtual networks via Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Software-Defined Storage Software-Defined Storage (SDS) in Windows Server 2022  decouples storage hardware from storage software. As a result, data storage can be managed, scaled and provisioned independently of the underlying storage hardware. It can also be easily replaced or expanded without changing operational processes, which also contributes to cost efficiency. Storage Replica In Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, the Storage Replica function is available without restriction. This supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication of data, effectively preventing its loss at the file system level. While synchronous replication mirrors data at physical locations with fail-safe volumes, asynchronous replication between locations uses network links with higher latency. Disaster Preparedness and Recovery (DR) also minimizes the risk of downtime. Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) Storage Spaces Direct combines the local data storage of Server into a virtual cluster. Its nodes can connect different physical data carriers or data carrier systems, and communication between them takes place via the SMB protocol. S2D thus offers increased fail-safety, so that even several cluster nodes can fail in the event of a large number without the cluster itself being affected. In addition to the simple implementation and management of software-defined storage (SDS) systems, Storage Spaces Direct also enables the creation of scalable, highly available storage systems, whereby the Server storage can be used independently of its hardware and thus more efficiently. Other new features of Windows Server 2022 In addition to these exclusive features of the Windows Server 2022  Datacenter edition, companies also have access to the following important features: Comprehensive Analysis with System Insights Supported by a machine learning model, the predictive analytics feature System Insights is available in Windows Server 2022  . This provides insights into the operation of locally deployed Server by analyzing their performance indicators and events to make accurate predictions, which can help reduce the effort required for reactive administration of Windows Server instances, thereby helping to reduce operational costs. Kubernetes and Linux support In Windows Server 2022, Kubernetes and Linux are now better supported: Linux and Windows containers managed with Kubernetes can be used in parallel as a result. New functions such as container networking are also available for Kubernetes, and individual images have also been improved here. Higher protection of data and network with Azure Services Reliable protection not only of data, but also of network infrastructures, is becoming increasingly important in companies. In Windows Server 2022, powerful functions such as Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) with Exploit Guard and Domain Controller are available for this purpose. Here, the hybrid features available in Windows Server 2022  enable improved protection of on-premises Active Directorys as well as easier use of Microsoft Azure services - so that closer collaboration between Windows Server and Azure Services enables easy synchronization of data or data backup, including with: Azure Backup Azure Site Recovery Azure Update Management Azure AD Banned Passwords Azure AD Password Protection as well as Azure Network Adapter This connects a local Server with a virtual Azure network in the Azure Cloud. The Storage Migration Wizard also facilitates Server migration including data to Cloud, where Azure File Sync can act as the storage location.

What's new in Windows Server 2022 Standard? The most important features at a glance The new version of the Microsoft server operating system Windows Server 2022 is based on Windows 10, which also shows visually, so User will find all functions in a familiar place. The new Windows Server 2022 also receives 10 years of product support from Microsoft in the form of support and updates. Compared to the previous version, Windows Server 2022 has above all many innovations in the three important topics: Security, Application Platform as well as Migration. Security in Windows Server 2022 Standard Windows Server with its new multi-layered security, 2022 offers the comprehensive protection that enterprise servers now urgently require to ensure the availability of data and Services. This is provided by the following new features and enhancements, among others: TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module 2.0) provides hardware-based secure storage for cryptographic keys and data, as well as system integrity measurement, including verification of the legitimacy or trustworthiness of code when the Windows server is started. This hardware-based trustworthiness is also used in BitLocker drive encryption, among other applications. Firmware protection is provided by the Secured-Core server processors, which use Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) technology to support boot verification, as well as isolated driver access to memory via Direct Memory Access (DMA) protection. The Secured-Core-Server also support code integrity according to VBS Standard (virtualization-based security) as well as via HVCI (hypervisor-based security). The hardware virtualization features used by VBS thereby establish a secure working memory area that is isolated from the operating system, thereby protecting the Server in particular from such risks as are present in cryptocurrency mining attacks. Furthermore, VBS enables the use of Credential Guard, where user login information is stored in a virtual container that cannot be accessed directly by the operating system. HTTPS and TLS 1.3 are now enabled by default on Windows Server 2022 Standard to ensure secure connections. TLS1.3 (Transport Layer Security) is the latest version of the most widely used security protocol on the Internet when encrypting data to provide a secure communication channel between two endpoints. Secure DNS in Windows Server 2022 Standard supports DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) to encrypt DNS queries using the HTTPS protocol, preventing eavesdropping and DNS data tampering, which also contributes to traffic security. SMB (Server Message Block) in Windows Server 2022 now uses the AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM standards for encryption, these are automatically used as soon as a connection is established with another computer that also supports them. Encryption using SMB Direct and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) in Windows Server 2022 provides higher bandwidth as well as lower latency for direct storage, storage replica, Hyper-V and SQL Server, among others. In addition, failover clusters in Windows Server 2022 enable granular encryption control of CSV (Cluster Shared Volumes,) and SBL (Storage Bus Layer). Container applications in Windows Server 2022 Standard There are also numerous optimizations to the platform when using Windows containers, for example in application compatibility as well as the Windows container user interface with Kubernetes. The image size of Windows-Containers has been reduced up to 40%, which increases startup time by 30% as well as improves performance. The use of Kubernetes has been simplified by, among other things, better support of containers for host processes when configuring nodes, IPv6 as well as the implementation of network policies with the open source application Calico. In addition, the Windows Admin Center has been updated to simplify container creation for .NET applications. Storage and migration in Windows Server 2022 Standard Many improvements to Storage Migration Services in Windows Server 2022 make it easier to migrate storage to Windows Server as well as other source storage locations to Azure, among other things. To do this, the Storage Migration Server orchestrator in Windows Server 2022 provides the following options: Migrate local users or groups to Windows Server Migrating storage to and from failover clusters, as well as migrating between standalone servers and failover clusters Migrating storage from Linux servers that use Samba Migrating to Azure networks Migrating NetApp CIFS servers or NetApp FAS arrays to Windows Server Other features: Customizable storage repair speed provides more control over the data synchronization process: resources can be allocated to repair data copies (resilience) or to run active workloads (performance). Clusters can thus be managed more flexibly and efficiently. Storage bus cache now provides storage on standalone servers, improving read and write performance and increasing efficiency by connecting faster media such as NVMe or SSD to slower media such as HDD. SMB compression eliminates the need to manually compress files when transferring them over the network, allowing for faster transfers on busy networks, for example. Other improvements in Windows Server 2022 Standard In addition, the new Windows Server 2022 version includes a number of individual optimizations that also improve performance: Nested Virtualization support on AMD processors in Windows Server 2022 provides more options in environment hardware to run Hyper-V on a Hyper-V virtual machine (VM). Microsoft Edge is included by default in Windows Server 2022. Edge is based on Chromium open source and provides more security than Internet Explorer, which it replaces. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) performance has been improved with the use of TCP HyStart++, which reduces packet loss, and with RACK (Recent ACKnowledgment) to reduce retransmit timeouts (RTO) during retransmissions. RSC (Receive Segment Coalescing) provides optimizations for virtual switches in Hyper-V, allowing packets to be aggregated in the hypervisor network and thus processed as larger segments. This reduces CPU cycles and improves network traffic performance. Hardware requirements for running Windows Server 2022 Standard Windows Server 2022 is based on the Windows 10 operating system.

The Standard edition of Windows Server 2022 has been developed especially for use in smaller data centers: it accordingly offers sufficient possibilities for virtualization, combined with good scalability, strong performance as well as effective security layers, as required for the reliable protection of data and applications in multi-Cloud environments. The server operating system Windows Server 2022 Standard combines physical and virtual networks for the provision of data and services via Cloud-based Server and is thus ideally suited to meet the IT requirements of SMEs. With Windows 10 as the operating system, many optimizations as well as new, powerful functions, this edition is thus ideally equipped for all workloads. Important decision factor for the purchase of the Standard Edition of Windows Server 2022 are the available possibilities for virtualization - among other things by means of containers. Thus, this represents indispensable functions especially for smaller companies that want to provide reliable infrastructures in this area as well. Windows Server 2022 enables companies in the Standard edition to more closely connect on-premises environments with the Cloud, including via the Microsoft Azure Services, which provide additional hybrid functions as well as security layers. Licensing of the Windows Server 2022 Standard edition is Core-based, whereby Pro Server is always based on 16 cores as the minimum number. Server with a higher number of cores can be conveniently and flexibly licensed in addition with 2-Core packages. The Windows Server 2022 Standard 2-Core Package can be found at Softwarehandel24 as used software - with the great advantage of a significantly lower price than for corresponding new software - and without any differences in all typical features that this edition offers in terms of functions - especially in virtualization -, security and performance. Detailed information about all features and functions of Windows Server 2022 Standard  edition as well as about Microsoft licensing conditions applicable to 2-Core packages is provided in the following overview. Windows Server 2022 Standard for the operation of multi-Cloud environments The Windows Server 2022 Standard edition also offers some virtualization capabilities, including data and application security, at a higher level than its predecessor: many enhancements and additions to features already known there, as well as the ability to create software-defined hyperconverged (HCI) infrastructure platforms over it; these offer even more advantages for Server- and Desktop-virtualization through easier deployment and scaling, as well as better manageability. Comparison: What features does Windows Server 2022 Standard offer? The decision to purchase the Standard edition of  Windows Server 2022 is usually influenced by the fact that certain virtualization features are either not available or only available in limited performance: Hyper-V, for example, can only be used here to a very limited extent, and the same applies to Shielded Virtual Machines (VMs) as well as Storage Spaces Direct and storage replication, as well as SDN (Software Defined Networking) and SDS (Software Defined Storage). Virtualization options with Windows Server 2022 Standard Basically, the Windows Server 2022 Edition Standard offers limited virtualization - it is therefore designed more for companies where this plays a minor role. Therefore, the number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers that can be run is also limited here, with a RAM limit of 24 TB, as in the more comprehensive edition. For more on this, see below. Storage Replica In Windows Server 2022 Standard  Edition, the Storage Replica storage function is available with restrictions, but Storage Spaces Direct is not supported. Storage Replica supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication of data and prevents data loss at the file system level: synchronous replication mirrors data at physical locations with a fail-safe volume, and asynchronous replication performs this function between locations over network links with higher latency. Other new features of Windows Server 2022 Standard Also available in the Windows Server 2022 Standard edition are the following key features for analytics, container use and hybrid infrastructure unification: System Insights for comprehensive Server analysis In Windows Server 2022, the predictive analytics feature System Insights is available for this purpose, which is supported by a machine learning model for more efficient functioning. System Insights allows comprehensive insights into the operation of locally deployed Server by analyzing performance indicators and events to make accurate predictions for the reactive management of Windows Server instances, which can lead to a reduction in effort and thus help organizations reduce operational costs. Support for Kubernetes and Linux Windows Server 2022 also offers comprehensive container support in the Standard edition. When using Hyper-V containers, however, it is important to note that the license for the Standard edition only allows 2 containers, as only 2 virtual machines (VMs) are allowed for them; also, no support for host monitoring is included. Windows Containers, on the other hand, can be operated in unlimited numbers. In addition, Kubernetes and Linux are now supported more comprehensively, so that Linux and Windows containers managed with Kubernetes can be used in parallel. Specifically for Kubernetes, new features such as container networking are also available in the Standard edition, among others. Greater data and network protection with Azure Services With Azure, hybrid capabilities are also available in Windows Server 2022 Standard to work seamlessly in an on-premises data center as well as in Cloud. Azure alone provides a Cloud with an end-to-end hybrid infrastructure with unified security, identity and management capabilities: Azure Active Directory enables universal management and protection of identities with help across multiple environments. Azure Arc allows Azure management and Azure services to be extended to any infrastructure. Through the Windows Admin Center, Azure services such as Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Monitor can be enabled quickly and easily. Thus, Azure Services in Windows Server 2022  Standard not only provide improved protection of on-premises Active Directorys, but also easier synchronization and backup of data.
