Windows Server 2022 Standard

The Server Operating System for Enhanced Security and Performance

With Windows Server 2022 Standard, companies and organizations can enable the shared use of data, services, and applications by multiple users in a secure and efficient way. User rights can be managed, resources can be assigned, and software packages can be deployed with just a few steps. When you purchase Windows Server 2022 Standard, you receive a powerful, feature-rich, and highly secure server operating system designed to meet modern business requirements.

Unlike Windows Server 2022 Essentials, there is no limit on the number of users. Any number of users can access the server once they are equipped with the required Client Access Licenses (CALs). Each Windows Server 2022 Standard license allows the use of two virtual machines plus one Hyper-V host as a virtualization guest.

What’s New in Windows Server 2022 Standard

Windows Server 2022 Standard introduces a wide range of improvements, with a strong focus on security, hybrid cloud integration, and performance. Key innovations include:

• Advanced security enhancements with TLS 1.3 enabled by default

• AES-256 SMB encryption integrated into the SMB 3 protocol

• SMB Direct encryption over RDMA networks (AES-128 and AES-256)

• Azure hybrid capabilities and improved cloud integration

• Nested virtualization support for AMD processors

• Storage optimizations for Storage Spaces Direct (Azure Stack HCI)

• Microsoft Edge included as the default browser

• Enhanced Windows Admin Center

• Reduced Windows container image sizes

• Improved UDP and TCP network performance

These features provide layered security and improved efficiency across modern server environments.

Extensive Server Roles and Features

Windows Server 2022 Standard is a highly versatile multi-purpose operating system offering dozens of server roles and hundreds of features, including guest rights. Supported roles include:

• Active Directory Certificate Services

• Active Directory Federation Services

• Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

• AD Rights Management Services

• DHCP Server and DNS Server

• Hyper-V virtualization

• Print and Document Services

• Remote Desktop Services

• Windows Deployment Services

Additional features such as DirectAccess, Volume Activation Services, and the Windows System Resource Manager are also included. Windows Server 2022 Standard supports NetApp migration, allowing NetApp arrays to be integrated into Windows Server clusters for secure and optimized NAS and SAN storage environments.

Optimized for Containers and Modern Infrastructure

Containers play a key role in modern application development and deployment. Windows Server 2022 Standard offers improved support for Windows containers, reducing dependencies between the host operating system and containerized applications. Applications that rely on Azure Active Directory with Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) can now run without joining the container host to a domain.

Additionally, Windows Server 2022 Standard simplifies the operation of software-defined networks through seamless integration of Windows SDN tools into Kubernetes, making it easier to build and manage virtual infrastructures.
