Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard (16 core) is an enterprise-class operating system, provides hybrid cloud and data processing as well as a new level of security and innovation for enterprise applications and infrastructure. Numerous innovations are implemented in a hybrid, secure, hyperconverged application platform and infrastructure.
Core-based licensing model: To license a physical server, all physical cores must be licensed. A minimum of 8 licenses are required for each physical processor on the server.
Benefits of Windows Server 2022 Standard :
- Hybrid cloud scenarios. Easy integration of Azure services: Azure Backup, Azure File Sync, disaster recovery service, and more. Using these services won't disrupt your applications or system infrastructure.
- In Windows Server 2022, shielded virtual machines support Linux virtual machines.
- VMConnect has been extended to improve troubleshooting of Windows Server and Linux escaped virtual machines.
- The ability to add encrypted networks allows administrators to encrypt network segments to protect the network layer between servers.
- Built-in Windows Defender (ATP) threat protection provides preventive protection by detecting any attacks.
- Windows Server 2022 introduces significant improvements to the compute, storage, and networking components of the Kubernetes cluster, and also offers an improved WSL, helping Linux users implement their scripts in Windows while using industry standards such as OpenSSH, Curl & Tar.
- Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). Microsoft partners with industry-leading hardware vendors to deliver an affordable yet extremely reliable HCI solution with a proven design: added scale, performance and reliability. The HCI deployment management capability simplifies the management and day-to-day operations of HCI environments.
- Windows Administration Center is a new, locally deployed Windows server management tool that allows full control over all aspects of the server infrastructure and is especially useful for managing servers on private networks that are not connected to the Internet. Windows Administration Center is the modern evolution of "in-box" management tools such as Server Manager and MMC. It complements System Center.
