Microsoft Gold-Certified Experts
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Troubleshooting
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the design of Windows Server 2019 and related tools and services to provide enhancements in crucial areas that include multi-layer security, integrated compatibility in Azure for major Windows workloads, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus greater availability for Azure-hosted VMs.
Notable innovations in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related tools and services include:
- Secured-core server hardware protects against sophisticated cyber threats
- Default enabling of (TLS) 1.3 and HTTPS provides enhanced security for communication channels
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM mode cryptographic suites deliver military-grade SMB encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS permits DNS queries between Windows Server's DNS client and the DNS server to go across an encrypted HTTPS connection rather than in plain text. This protects the DNS query from exposure to unauthorized parties.
- The release of Microsoft's Azure Arc allows you to administer physical and virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers running outside Azure (such as on-prem and on different cloud providers) the same way you manage Azure-based virtual machines, giving you a consistent management toolset across your hybrid network
- Hotpatching increases availability by allowing network managers to install planned software updates on current Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the requirement to reboot after applying the patch
- Shrinking the Windows Container image by as much as 40% allows faster startup time and better overall performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center simplifies the procedure for containerizing .NET applications
- The new Storage bus cache feature for standalone servers (as opposed to servers in a Failover Cluster) can, like Storage Spaces Direct, cache inexpensive spinning disks with fast solid-state disks (SSDs) to speed up storage throughput economically. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, see Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct experts.
Progent's certified Windows Server consultants can assist your business to integrate Windows Server 2022 with current releases of Microsoft's core application platforms by providing support such as Exchange Server consulting, SQL Server 2019 expertise, SharePoint 2019 development, and Microsoft 365 expertise. Progent's system design, debugging, and education support for Windows Server 2022 are provided online and Progent also offers on-premises help for Microsoft Windows products in major metropolitan locations across the U.S.
Managing a Hybrid Cloud Network Model that Includes Windows Server 2022
You can incorporate Windows Server 2022 into a seamless hybrid solution by using Azure Arc services. Azure Arc provides centralized management of policy, security, configuration, and monitoring for both Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers across your hybrid network. This includes servers running on-prem, on Azure, on multiple popular clouds such as AWS EC2 instances and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By installing the Azure Connected Machine agent on each registered server, you can create a consistent management environment that handles each system in a hybrid network as an Azure asset that can take advantage of basic Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Designing, implementing, managing, and maintaining cost-effective hybrid networks that include Windows Server 2022 all demand broad knowledge and real-world experience that is outside the scope of typical network support groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's group of subject-matter experts (SMEs) can deliver as-needed guidance for any aspect of hybrid network design and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and cybersecurity experts can assist you to assess the potential advantages of Windows Server 2022 for your company and create a hybrid IT environment that incorporates Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and that delivers optimum strategic value.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Services from Progent
If you require guidance migrating to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 from an earlier release of Windows Server, Progent offers the skills to make your transition smooth, economical, and on schedule. Progent can help your organization to:
- Document the applications and server roles on your existing Windows Servers
- Migrate your VMs from older versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Design a network management solution based on the most effective platforms for your situation
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 is available in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. Both Datacenter versions support Software-defined Networking, Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter versions also allow unlimited VMs and Hyper-V isolated Containers (as opposed two each for the Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition supports Hotpatching. Most of these technologies are described in Windows Server 2016 integration expertise.
Two install modes for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core supports standard apps and role-driven workloads but lacks a traditional desktop management interface. This "headless" version has the benefit of a small footprint and a correspondingly small attack area, but Server Core needs to be managed remotely through the command line, Microsoft PowerShell, or a GUI tool such as Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a full installation and includes a complete GUI that permits direct administration. Progent's consultants can help you to choose the editions and install modes best suited for your environment, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing requirements, and select a resilient on-prem, cloud-based, or hybrid deployment model for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
