Microsoft Windows Server 2019 is the on-premises version of Microsoft's server OS. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 incorporates the updates for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 formerly offered exclusively through Microsoft's Semi-Annual Channel. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 offers significant enhancements in scale, throughput, manageability, cybersecurity, application compatibility, Linux support, Kubernetes networking, and hybrid combinations of on-premises and cloud resources.
Top enhancements of Windows Server 2019 are Windows Admin Center for centralizing the management of hybrid local/cloud-hosted deployments, System Insights for taking advantage of modern predictive intelligence to manage on-premises environments, Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Exploit Guard for host-intrusion prevention, container networking with Kubernetes, Cluster Sets technology for building and managing massive non-stop scale-out clusters, and Microsoft's Storage Migration Service for simplifying the upgrade process from legacy versions of Windows Server.

Hybrid Cloud Integration with Microsoft Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2019 makes the Azure stack accessible to organizations of any size for building onsite data centers, private clouds, or hybrid systems that combine local IT assets with resources hosted on the cloud.
Many of today's businesses deploy a combination of on-premises and cloud-hosted IT assets to get the appropriate trade-off of flexibility, economy, throughput, reliability, and security/compliance they need. In some fields, compliance regulations demand that specific types of resources and data be kept internally. In other instances, corporate policies or legacy applications necessitate line-of-business applications to be hosted locally. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 provides a cloud-friendly solution that allows you to build and manage productive hybrid networks that seamlessly access resources distributed across on-premises data centers and the cloud.
Planning, building and administering optimized hybrid solutions with Windows Server 2019 calls for a wide range of skills. This can be beyond the expertise of most in-house IT groups in smaller organizations. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts (SMEs) gives you as-needed access to the knowledge you need for any aspect of hybrid network implementation and management. Progent's Microsoft Gold-certified and Cisco-certified consulting experts, project managers, and cybersecurity professionals can help you to assess the benefits of Windows Server 2019 for your company and create a hybrid environment based on Microsoft Windows Server 2019 that delivers top return on investment.
The Right Time to Migrate
The release of Windows Server 2019 was accompanied by the announcement of End-of-Support status for Microsoft's popular Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 products. The result is that there will be no additional security fixes onsite, no other updates, no free support programs, and no downloadable technical content updates. Because of this, security will be increasingly difficult, support costs may go up, and network robustness may go down.
If your business needs expertise moving up to Windows Server 2019 from WS 2008 or any other out-of-date release of Microsoft Windows Server, Progent can provide the skills to make your migration efficient, affordable, and on-schedule. Progent can help you:
Windows Server 2019 has two deployment options: Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. The Server Core option has a minimal attack surface and no traditional desktop interface but handles all role-based workloads. This so-called "headless" version must be managed remotely, for example via Power Shell or RSAT. Server with Desktop Experience option is a full installation and features a comprehensive GUI for local management. Progent's experts can help your company to determine the editions and deployment alternatives most appropriate for your environment, comprehend Microsoft's licensing rules, and choose an efficient on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid deployment model.
Top New Features of Windows Server 2019

Editions of Windows Server 2019 acquired under the Semi-Annual Channel model are updated twice annually, and so make enhancements available much sooner than under the LTSC model.
