Microsoft Gold-Certified Consultants
Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Troubleshooting
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the technology behind Windows Server 2019 and associated tools and services to offer improvements in key areas that include multi-layer cybersecurity, native support in Microsoft Azure for popular Windows workloads, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, plus higher availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted VMs.
Important enhancements in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related products include:
- Support for Secured-core server hardware guards against sophisticated security threats
- Default support for Transport Layer Security 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM authenticated encryption suites provide military-grade Server Message Block encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) allows DNS traffic between Windows Server's DNS client and the DNS server to travel along an encrypted HTTPS interface instead of in simple text. This protects the DNS query from exposure to untrusted parties.
- The release of 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 public clouds) the same way you manage Azure-hosted VMs, giving you a unified management experience across your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching support improves uptime by permitting network managers to install scheduled software updates on current Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the requirement to reboot after applying the patch
- Reducing the Windows Container image size by up to 40% results in faster startup and higher performance
- Updated Windows Admin Center simplifies the procedure for containerizing .NET apps
- The new Storage bus cache 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 improve read/write throughput affordably. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, see Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct consultants.
Progent's certified Windows Server experts can assist your organization to integrate Windows Server 2022 with modern versions of Microsoft's core application platforms by delivering support such as Exchange Server consulting, SQL Server 2019 integration, SharePoint 2019 solution design, and Microsoft 365 expertise. Progent's solution design, troubleshooting, and education services for Windows Server 2022 are provided remotely and Progent also can deliver on-premises help for Microsoft Windows technologies in major metropolitan areas across the United States and Canada.
Managing a Hybrid Environment that Includes Windows Server 2022
You can incorporate Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid solution by using Azure Arc. Azure Arc provides centralized management of governance, cybersecurity, configuration, and monitoring for both Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers throughout your hybrid network. This can include servers located on-prem, hosted on Microsoft Azure, on different public clouds like AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in edge deployments. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can build a unified management environment that handles every machine in a hybrid network as an Azure asset that can take advantage of standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Planning, deploying, managing, and maintaining efficient hybrid networks that incorporate Windows Server 2022 all demand broad knowledge and real-world experience that is beyond the skill set of typical network support groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts (SMEs) can provide on-demand expertise for any facet of hybrid network design and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and network security specialists can assist you to assess the potential advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 for your organization and create a hybrid IT environment that incorporates Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and that delivers optimum strategic value.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Expertise from Progent
If you require guidance migrating to Windows Server 2022 from a prior release of Windows Server, Progent offers the knowledge to make your migration smooth, within budget, and on schedule. Progent can assist your business to:
- Document all workloads and server roles running on your current Windows Servers
- Migrate your virtual machine from earlier releases of Windows Server to Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Design a network management solution built around the most effective technologies for your requirements
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. Both Datacenter editions include Software-defined Networking (SDN), Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter versions also support unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V isolated Containers (vs. a maximum of two each for the Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition supports Hotpatching. Most of these features are discussed in Windows Server 2016 integration services.
The two install options available for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with standard applications and role-driven workloads but does not have a traditional desktop interface. This so-called "headless" alternative has the benefit of a small footprint with a small attack area, but Server Core must be managed externally through the command line, PowerShell, or a graphical interface tool such as Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a comprehensive version and features a complete GUI that permits local administration. Progent's consultants can help you to select the editions and install options best fitted for your environment, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing requirements, and design a resilient on-prem, cloud-hosted, or hybrid network architecture for Windows Server 2022.
