Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Consulting Support for
Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services: High Availability Expertise
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the technology behind Windows Server 2019 and related tools and services to offer enhancements in crucial areas such as in-depth cybersecurity, integrated compatibility in Azure for popular Windows Server applications, unified administration for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus greater availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted VMs.
Headline improvements in Windows Server 2022 and related products include:
- Secured-core server hardware guards against new-generation cyber attacks
- Default support for (TLS) 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 permits DNS data between Windows Server 2022's DNS client and the DNS server to go along an encrypted HTTPS connection rather than in simple text. This guards the DNS query from exposure to unauthorized third parties.
- The introduction of Azure Arc enables you to administer physical and virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers running outside Azure (such as on-prem and on multiple cloud providers) the same way you manage Azure-based virtual machines, providing a unified management experience across your hybrid network
- Hotpatching support increases availability by allowing you to implement planned software updates on new Windows Server Azure Edition VMs without the need to reboot after installing the patch
- Reducing the Windows Container image by up to 40% results in faster startup and higher overall performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center simplifies the procedure for containerizing .NET apps
- The new Storage bus cache for standalone servers (as opposed to members of a Failover Cluster) can, as with Storage Spaces Direct, cache inexpensive spinning disks with fast solid-state disks (SSDs) to improve read/write performance economically. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, refer to Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct consultants.
Progent's Microsoft-certified Windows Server consultants can assist your organization to integrate Windows Server 2022 with modern versions of Microsoft's core applications by delivering support including Exchange Server integration, SQL Server 2019 expertise, SharePoint 2019 solution design, and Microsoft 365 expertise. Progent's consulting, troubleshooting, and education services for Windows Server 2022 are available remotely and Progent also can deliver on-premises expertise for Microsoft technologies in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States and Canada.
Managing a Hybrid Cloud Environment that Includes Windows Server 2022
You can integrate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid solution by using Azure Arc. Azure Arc provides unified management of policy, security, configuration, and monitoring for both Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers across your hybrid network. This can include servers running on premises, on Microsoft Azure, on multiple public clouds such as AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can build a unified management environment that handles every system in a hybrid environment as an Azure resource that can benefit from standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Designing, deploying, administering, and troubleshooting cost-effective hybrid solutions that incorporate Windows Server 2022 all require in-depth knowledge and real-world experience that is outside the skill set of most network support groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's group of subject-matter experts can provide as-needed guidance for any facet of hybrid network design and configuration. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and network security experts can assist you to assess the potential advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 for your company and build and manage a hybrid network that incorporates Windows Server 2022 and that delivers optimum strategic value.
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Expertise from Progent
If you require guidance moving to Windows Server 2022 from a prior release of Windows Server, Progent can provide the knowledge to make your migration efficient, within budget, and on time. Progent can assist your organization to:
- Inventory all workloads and server roles on your existing Windows Servers
- Move your VMs from earlier versions of Windows Server to Microsoft Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Plan a server management solution built around the most appropriate platforms for your situation
Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition releases. Both Datacenter versions support Software-defined Networking (SDN), Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter editions also support unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V isolated Containers (as opposed two each for Microsoft's Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition includes Hotpatching. Most of these features are described in Windows Server 2016 consulting services.
The two install modes for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with conventional apps and role-based workloads but does not have a local desktop interface. This "headless" alternative offers the benefit of a small footprint with a correspondingly small attack area, but Server Core must be managed externally via the command line interface, PowerShell, or a graphical interface utility 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 experts can assist you to select the editions and install modes best suited for your situation, understand Microsoft's licensing rules, and select a resilient on-premises, cloud-hosted, or hybrid network architecture for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
