Microsoft Windows Server 2019 is the perpetual-license release of Microsoft's flagship server operating system. Windows Server 2019 incorporates the enhancements for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 formerly offered only via the Semi-Annual Channel (SAC). Windows Server 2019 features important enhancements in scale, performance, manageability, security and compliance, application compatibility, Linux co-existence, Kubernetes technology, and hybrid combinations of on-premises and cloud-hosted assets.
Top enhancements of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 include Windows Admin Center for unifying the management of hybrid local/cloud resources, System Insights for taking advantage of modern predictive intelligence to control on-premises networks, Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Exploit Guard for host-intrusion defense, container orchestration using Kubernetes, Cluster Sets for building and administering large non-stop scale-out clusters, and Storage Migration Service for streamlining the upgrade process from legacy editions of Windows Server.
Progent can assist your organization to integrate Windows Server 2019 with current versions of Microsoft's popular apps by delivering expert services that include Exchange Server expertise, Microsoft SQL Server 2019 integration consulting, SQL Server 2017 migration services, SharePoint 2019 planning and integration, and Microsoft 365 hybrid integration expertise. Progent's solution design, debugging and education services for Windows Server 2019 are offered remotely and Progent also offers on-premises consulting in metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Hybrid Cloud Integration with Microsoft Windows Server 2019
Microsoft Windows Server 2019 makes Microsoft's Azure stack available to organizations of any size for creating on-premises networks, private clouds, or hybrid systems that combine local IT assets with resources hosted on private and public clouds.
Most of today's businesses deploy a combination of local and cloud-hosted resources to deliver the appropriate balance of control, affordability, performance, availability, and security/compliance they need. In some fields, compliance regulations require that specific types of network resources and data be managed internally. In other instances, company policies or legacy applications necessitate mission-critical software to be run locally. Windows Server 2019 provides a cloud-aware platform that permits you to implement and manage productive hybrid ecosystems that seamlessly access resources distributed across local facilities and the cloud.
Planning, configuring and administering efficient hybrid environments with Windows Server 2019 requires a wide array of knowledge and experience. This can be outside the expertise of most in-house IT groups in smaller businesses. Progent's team of subject-matter experts (SMEs) gives you as-needed access to the skills you need for any aspect of hybrid network deployment and maintenance. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consulting experts, project managers, and cybersecurity professionals can assist your business to determine the advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 for your organization and build a hybrid environment powered by Microsoft Windows Server 2019 that delivers maximum return on investment.
A Good Moment to Migrate
The introduction of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 coincided with the notification of End-of-Support status for Microsoft's widely used Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms. The result is that there will be no more security patches onsite, no other enhancements, no free support programs, and no online technical content updates. Because of this, security and compliance will be more challenging, maintenance costs and effort may go up, and network robustness may go down.
If your organization needs help migrating to Microsoft Windows Server 2019 from Windows Server 2008 or another legacy release of Windows Server, Progent can provide the knowledge and experience to make your migration smooth, economical, and on-schedule. Progent can help you:
Microsoft Windows Server 2019 has two deployment alternatives: Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core has a minimal attack surface and no traditional desktop interface but handles all server roles. This "headless" version must be managed remotely, for example with the command line or Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a complete installation and features a comprehensive graphical user interface for local management. Progent's experts can help your company to determine the versions and installation options most appropriate for your situation, understand Microsoft's licensing requirements, and choose an optimal onsite, cloud-based, or hybrid network model.
