Microsoft Windows Server 2019 is the on-premises version of Microsoft's flagship server operating system. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 includes the enhancements to Windows Server 2016 previously offered exclusively through Microsoft's SAC program. Windows Server 2019 features important improvements in scale, performance, manageability, cybersecurity, app compatibility, Linux support, Kubernetes technology, and hybrid integration of local and cloud assets.
Top enhancements of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 are Windows Admin Center for unifying the management and monitoring of hybrid local/cloud-hosted deployments, System Insights for utilizing modern predictive intelligence to manage on-premises environments, Windows Defender ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) Exploit Guard for host-intrusion defense, container networking with Kubernetes, Cluster Sets technology for deploying and managing large non-stop scale-out clusters, and Storage Migration Service for simplifying the upgrade process from legacy versions of Windows Server.

Hybrid Cloud Solutions with Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2019 makes Microsoft's Azure stack accessible to organizations of any size for creating onsite data centers, private clouds, or hybrid architectures that integrate local resources with infrastructure and services provided via private and public clouds.
The majority of modern businesses manage a combination of local and cloud-hosted IT assets to get the appropriate trade-off of control, economy, throughput, availability, and security/compliance they need. For some fields, regulatory compliance demand that certain types of resources and information be kept locally. In other instances, corporate policies or legacy applications necessitate mission-critical applications to be hosted locally. Windows Server 2019 offers a cloud-aware platform that permits you to build and manage powerful hybrid ecosystems that seamlessly utilize resources spread across on-premises facilities and the cloud.
Designing, creating and managing optimized hybrid solutions with Microsoft Windows Server 2019 calls for a broad array of skills. This can be outside the comfort zone of most in-house IT groups in smaller businesses. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts (SMEs) gives you on-demand access to the knowledge you need for any facet of hybrid network deployment and management. Progent's Microsoft Gold-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and cybersecurity professionals can assist your business to determine the advantages of Windows Server 2019 for your organization and build a hybrid ecosystem based on Microsoft Windows Server 2019 that delivers top return on investment.
The Right Moment to Migrate
The release of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 coincided with the notification of End-of-Support (EOS) status for Microsoft's widely used Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 products. The result is that there will be no additional security fixes on-premises, no other updates, no free support programs, and no downloadable technical updates. Consequently, security will become increasingly challenging, management costs may go up, and network robustness may go down.
If your business needs help upgrading to Windows Server 2019 from WS 2008 or from another legacy edition of Microsoft Windows Server, Progent offers the skills to make your upgrade process efficient, affordable, and fast. Progent can help you:
Microsoft Windows Server 2019 has two installation options: Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. The Server Core option features a minimal footprint and has no traditional desktop interface but handles all role-based workloads. This so-called "headless" version is designed to be managed remotely, e.g. via the command line or Remote Server Administration Tools. Server with Desktop Experience option is a complete installation and features a rich graphical user interface for local management. Progent's experts can help you to determine the editions and installation alternatives best suited to your situation, comprehend Microsoft's licensing requirements, and pick an optimal onsite, cloud, or hybrid network model.
