Windows Server 2022 Standard – The Server Operating System for Enhanced Security

With Windows Server 2022 Standard, businesses and organizations of all sizes can enable secure and efficient sharing of data, services, and applications among multiple users. Permissions can be managed, resources allocated, and software deployed in 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 the most demanding requirements.

Unlike Windows Server 2022 Essentials, there is no limitation on the number of users. Any number of users can take advantage of Windows Server 2022 Standard features, provided they are equipped with the appropriate 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. Numerous enhancements and innovations make this server operating system a future-ready solution.

What’s New in Windows Server 2022 Standard

Key improvements include enhanced security features, advanced Azure hybrid capabilities, nested virtualization for AMD processors, storage optimizations for Storage Spaces Direct (Azure Stack HCI), and the introduction of Microsoft Edge as the default browser.

Windows Server 2022 enables the latest Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 by default. The new AES-256 encryption for SMB is fully abstracted within the SMB 3 protocol to reduce compatibility issues. SMB Direct now also supports encryption over RDMA networks using both AES-128 and AES-256. When you purchase Windows Server 2022 Standard online, you benefit from a multilayered security architecture.

Additional improvements include enhancements to the Windows Admin Center, reduced Windows container image sizes, improved UDP and TCP performance, and support for nested virtualization on AMD processors.

Access a Wide Range of Server Roles

Windows Server is a highly versatile, multipurpose operating system offering dozens of server roles and hundreds of features, including guest rights. Available roles include:

• Active Directory Certificate Services

• Active Directory Federation Services

• Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

• Active Directory Rights Management Services

• DHCP Server and DNS Server

• Hyper-V

• Print and Document Services

• Remote Desktop Services

• Windows Deployment Services

Additional features such as DirectAccess, Volume Activation Services, and Windows System Resource Manager are also included. Microsoft Server 2022 supports NetApp migration, allowing NetApp arrays used in NAS and SAN environments for analytics and disk-based backups to be migrated and integrated into Windows Server clusters.

Optimized for Efficient Container Creation

Containers play a key role in modern, cost-effective software development and deployment. Windows Server 2022 Standard provides enhanced 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 requiring the container host to join a domain. Windows Server 2022 Standard also simplifies the operation of software-defined networking by seamlessly integrating Windows SDN tools into Kubernetes. This makes building and managing virtual infrastructures with Windows Server easier than ever.

When you purchase Windows Server 2022 Standard online, you receive a next-generation server operating system designed for modern IT environments.
