Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services:
Hybrid Cloud Network Design
Windows Server 2022 builds on the design of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and associated products to provide enhancements in key areas such as in-depth cybersecurity, integrated compatibility in Microsoft Azure for popular Windows Server applications, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus higher availability for Azure-hosted virtual machines.
Important improvements in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related products include:
- Support for Secured-core server hardware guards against new-generation security attacks
- Default support for Transport Layer Security 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication connections
- AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM secure cipher suites provide military-grade Server Message Block (SMB) encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) permits DNS traffic between Windows Server'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 eavesdropping by untrusted third parties.
- The introduction of Microsoft's Azure Arc enables you to administer physical as well as virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers hosted outside Azure (such as at your datacenter and on multiple public clouds) the same way you manage Azure-hosted VMs, giving you a consistent management experience across your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching support improves uptime by permitting network managers to install planned updates on new Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the requirement to restart after patching
- Reducing the Windows Container image size by as much as 40% results in quicker startup time and higher performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center streamlines the procedure for containerizing .NET applications
- The new Storage bus cache for standalone servers (not servers in a Failover Cluster) can, as with Storage Spaces Direct, cache slower and less-expensive media with faster solid-state disks (SSDs) to speed up storage throughput economically. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, refer to Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct experts.
Progent's Microsoft-certified Windows Server consultants can help your organization to integrate Windows Server 2022 with modern releases of Microsoft's core application platforms by delivering services such as Exchange Server integration, SQL Server 2019 integration, SharePoint 2019 solution design, and Microsoft 365 expertise. Progent's consulting, debugging, and education support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are available online and Progent also can deliver onsite help for Microsoft products in larger metropolitan areas across the U.S.
Managing a Hybrid Cloud Network Model that Incorporates 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 Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers throughout your hybrid infrastructure. This includes servers located on-prem, on Azure, on different public clouds like AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can create a unified management experience that treats each system in a hybrid environment as an Azure asset that can take advantage of standard Azure constructs like Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Designing, deploying, managing, and troubleshooting efficient hybrid networks that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all require in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience that is outside the scope of most IT groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts can deliver on-demand guidance for any facet of hybrid network planning and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified engineers, project managers, and network security specialists can help your business to assess the potential benefits of Windows Server 2022 for your organization and create a hybrid network that incorporates Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and that provides maximum return on investment.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Services from Progent
If you need guidance migrating to Windows Server 2022 from an earlier version of Windows Server, Progent offers the skills to make your migration smooth, within budget, and on time. Progent can assist your organization to:
- Compile an inventory the workloads and server roles on your current Windows Servers
- Move your virtual machine from earlier releases of Windows Server to Microsoft Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Plan a server management strategy built around the most effective platforms for your situation
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition releases. The Datacenter versions include 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 (vs. a maximum of 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 Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with conventional apps and role-based workloads but lacks a traditional desktop management interface. This "headless" alternative offers the advantage of a small size with a correspondingly small attack surface, but Server Core needs to be managed externally via the command line, Microsoft PowerShell, or a graphical interface tool such as Windows Admin Center. Microsoft's Server with Desktop Experience option is a comprehensive installation and features a complete graphical interface that permits local administration. Progent's experts can help you to choose the editions and installation modes best suited for your situation, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing rules, and select a resilient on-prem, cloud-based, or hybrid network architecture for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
