Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Consulting:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Troubleshooting
Windows Server 2022 expands on the design of Windows Server 2019 and associated products to offer enhancements in crucial areas such as layered security, native support in Microsoft Azure for major Windows Server workloads, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus greater availability for Azure-hosted virtual machines.
Notable improvements in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related technology include:
- Secured-core server hardware guards against sophisticated cyber attacks
- Default (TLS) 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM mode cryptographic suites provide military-grade SMB encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) permits DNS queries between Windows Server's DNS client and the DNS server to travel across an encrypted HTTPS connection rather than in simple text. This guards the DNS query from eavesdropping by unauthorized third parties.
- The introduction of Microsoft's Azure Arc allows you to administer physical and virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers hosted outside Azure (including at your datacenter and on multiple public clouds) the same way you administer Azure-hosted virtual machines, providing a consistent management experience throughout your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching improves uptime by permitting you to install scheduled software updates on new Windows Server Azure Edition VMs without the need to reboot after installing the patch
- Shrinking the Windows Container image by up to 40% allows quicker startup and better performance
- Updated Windows Admin Center streamlines the procedure for containerizing .NET applications
- The Storage bus cache for standalone servers (not servers in a Failover Cluster) can, as with Storage Spaces Direct, cache inexpensive spinning disks with faster solid-state disks 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 consultants can help your business to integrate Windows Server 2022 with modern versions of Microsoft's core applications by delivering services including Exchange Server consulting, SQL Server 2019 integration, SharePoint 2019 development, and Microsoft 365 configuration.

Managing a Hybrid Cloud Environment that Includes Microsoft Windows Server 2022
You can integrate Windows Server 2022 into a seamless hybrid solution by using Azure Arc services. Azure Arc provides centralized management of policy, cybersecurity, configuration, and monitoring for Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers throughout your hybrid network. This includes servers located on premises, hosted on Azure, on different public clouds like AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in various edge scenarios. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on each server, you can build a consistent management experience that handles every machine in a hybrid network as an Azure resource that can benefit from standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Planning, deploying, managing, and maintaining cost-effective hybrid networks that include Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all require broad knowledge and hands-on experience that is outside the scope of typical IT groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's group of subject-matter experts can deliver as-needed expertise for any facet of hybrid network planning and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and cybersecurity specialists can assist you to evaluate the potential benefits of Windows Server 2022 for your company and build and manage a hybrid network that incorporates Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and that provides optimum strategic value.
Windows Server 2022 Migration Expertise from Progent
If you require guidance moving to Windows Server 2022 from a prior release of Windows Server, Progent can provide the skills to make your transition smooth, economical, and on time. Progent can help your company to:
- Compile an inventory all applications and server roles running on your existing Windows Servers
- Move your virtual machine from earlier versions 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 appropriate platforms for your situation
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition releases. The Datacenter editions include 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 a maximum of two each for Microsoft's Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition has Hotpatching. Most of these features are described in Windows Server 2016 integration expertise.
The two installation options for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with conventional applications and role-driven workloads but does not have a traditional desktop management interface. This "headless" alternative has the advantage of a small footprint and a correspondingly small attack area, but it must be managed remotely via the command line, PowerShell, or a graphical interface tool like Windows Admin Center. Microsoft's Server with Desktop Experience install mode is a full installation and includes a rich GUI that allows direct administration. Progent's consultants can help you to choose the editions and install options best fitted for your situation, understand Microsoft's licensing rules, and select an efficient on-prem, cloud-based, or hybrid deployment model for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
