Microsoft Gold-Certified Consultants
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Consulting:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Troubleshooting
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the design of Windows Server 2019 and associated products to provide improvements in key areas such as multi-layer security, native compatibility in Azure for major Windows Server workloads, unified administration for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, plus higher availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted virtual machines.
Important enhancements in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and associated products include:
- Support for Secured-core server hardware guards against sophisticated cyber threats
- Default enabling of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM mode cryptographic suites deliver military-grade SMB encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS permits DNS data between Windows Server 2022's DNS client and the DNS server to travel across an encrypted HTTPS interface instead of in plain text. This protects the DNS query from exposure to unauthorized parties.
- The introduction of Microsoft's Azure Arc allows you to manage physical and virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers running outside Azure (such as at your datacenter and on different cloud providers) the same way you administer Azure-hosted VMs, giving you a unified management toolset throughout your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching support improves availability by allowing you to implement planned software updates on current Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the need to restart after applying the patch
- Shrinking the Windows Container image size by up to 40% allows faster startup and higher overall performance
- Updated Windows Admin Center streamlines the process of containerizing .NET applications
- The Storage bus cache for standalone servers (as opposed to members of a Failover Cluster) can, as with Storage Spaces Direct, cache slower and less-expensive spinning disks with faster solid-state disks (SSDs) to improve read/write throughput affordably. For a discussion of Storage Spaces Direct, see Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct experts.
Progent's Microsoft-certified Windows Server experts can help your business to integrate Windows Server 2022 with current releases of Microsoft's key application platforms by providing services including Exchange Server consulting, SQL Server 2019 expertise, SharePoint 2019 solution design, and Microsoft 365 configuration. Progent's solution design, debugging, and training support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are available online and Progent also can deliver on-premises expertise for Microsoft products in larger metropolitan areas throughout the U.S.
Managing a Hybrid Cloud Environment that Incorporates Windows Server 2022
You can integrate Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid ecosystem by using Azure Arc services. Azure Arc offers centralized management of governance, security, setup, and monitoring for Windows and Linux physical servers or VMs throughout your hybrid network. This can include servers running on-prem, hosted on Azure, on different popular clouds such as AWS EC2 instances and Google Cloud, or in various edge scenarios. By installing the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can build a unified management environment that handles each machine in a hybrid environment as an Azure resource that can benefit from standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Planning, deploying, managing, and troubleshooting efficient hybrid solutions that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all require broad knowledge and real-world experience that is beyond the scope of most network support groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts can provide as-needed guidance for any facet of hybrid network planning and configuration. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified engineers, project managers, and cybersecurity experts can help you to assess the potential advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 for your company and create a hybrid network that includes Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and that provides optimum strategic value.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Expertise from Progent
If you need technical assistannce migrating to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 from a prior release of Windows Server, Progent can provide the skills to make your migration smooth, within budget, and on schedule. Progent can help your organization to:
- Document the apps and server roles on your existing Windows Servers
- Migrate your VMs from older releases of Windows Server to Microsoft Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Plan a server management strategy based on the most effective technologies for your situation
Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition releases. The Datacenter editions support Software-defined Networking, Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter versions also support unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V isolated Containers (vs. two each for Microsoft's Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition has Hotpatching. Most of these technologies are described in Windows Server 2016 consulting expertise.
The two install modes for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core supports standard applications and role-based workloads but lacks a traditional desktop interface. This so-called "headless" alternative has the benefit of a small size with a correspondingly small attack surface, but it needs to be managed remotely through the command line interface, PowerShell, or a GUI tool such as Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience install mode is a comprehensive installation and includes a rich GUI that allows direct management. Progent's experts can help you to select the editions and install modes best fitted for your environment, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing rules, and select an efficient on-prem, cloud-hosted, or hybrid deployment model for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
