Standard Features of Windows Server 2022
1. Secured-Core Server
- Multilayered Security: Windows Server 2022 offers advanced protection against threats by integrating security at the hardware, firmware, and operating system levels. It uses Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and System Guard to ensure secure system booting, minimizing risks from firmware vulnerabilities.
- Virtualization-Based Security (VBS): Includes features like Credential Guard and Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI), which apply hardware security to protect sensitive data and prevent tampering by advanced malware.
2. Credential Guard
- Preventive Defense: Protects sensitive resources, such as credentials, preventing unauthorized access or tampering.
- HVCI Protection: Ensures that malware cannot access critical system resources.
- Protected Connectivity: Adds an extra layer of security for data in transit, with TLS 1.3 encryption enabled by default and AES-256 encryption for server-client communication, including SMB communications.
3. Hybrid Capabilities with Azure
- Azure Arc: Allows management, protection, and monitoring of Windows Server on-premises, at the edge, or in multi-cloud environments from a single control plane in Azure. With Azure Arc, you can apply Azure management features like Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, and Azure Defender to on-prem servers.
- File Server Migration: The Storage Migration Service helps move on-premises file servers to Windows servers on Azure, optimizing storage space and reducing latency.
4. Flexible Application Platform
- Windows Containers and Kubernetes: Windows Server 2022 enhances the Windows container experience, reducing image sizes, improving download times, and boosting performance. It also adds support for gMSA (Group Managed Service Accounts) to run applications that rely on Azure Active Directory without needing to join the domain on the container host.
- Support for Business-Critical Applications: The platform is optimized for large-scale workloads like SQL Server, which can now leverage up to 48 TB of memory and 2,048 logical cores running on 64 physical sockets.
5. Windows Admin Center
- Simplified Management: Advanced management capabilities, such as container and virtual machine management, are accessible via the improved Windows Admin Center interface. Updates make it easier to containerize .NET applications, monitor servers, and integrate with Azure.
Conclusion
Windows Server 2022 is a robust and secure platform designed to meet modern enterprise needs, with a strong focus on security, hybrid connectivity, and support for containers and critical applications. New features enable centralized management and greater efficiency in integrating with Azure cloud services, providing organizations with an agile and secure environment for their business-critical applications.
