Cloud and VM Configuration and Management
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services:
Hybrid Cloud System Design
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the technology behind Windows Server 2019 and associated products to offer improvements in crucial areas that include in-depth security, native compatibility in Azure for major Windows Server applications, consistent management for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus greater availability for Azure-hosted VMs.
Important innovations in Windows Server 2022 and associated tools and services include:
- Support for Secured-core server hardware protects against new-generation security attacks
- Default enabling of Transport Layer Security 1.3 and HTTPS provides enhanced security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM mode cryptographic suites deliver military-grade Server Message Block encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS permits DNS queries between Windows Server's DNS client and the DNS server to go along an encrypted HTTPS interface rather than in plain text. This guards the DNS query from exposure to unauthorized third parties.
- The release of Azure Arc allows you to administer physical and virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers hosted outside Azure (including on-prem and on multiple cloud providers) the same way you manage Azure-based VMs, giving you a unified management toolset throughout your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching support increases uptime by permitting network managers to install planned software updates on current Windows Server Azure Edition VMs without the requirement to reboot after applying the patch
- Shrinking the Windows Container image size by up to 40% results in quicker startup time and better performance
- Updated Windows Admin Center simplifies the process of containerizing .NET applications
- The 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 fast SSDs to speed up storage performance affordably. For a discussion of Storage Spaces Direct, see Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct experts.
Progent's certified Windows Server consultants can assist your business to integrate Windows Server 2022 with modern releases of Microsoft's key applications by delivering services such as Exchange Server integration, SQL Server 2019 expertise, SharePoint 2019 development, and Microsoft 365 configuration. Progent's system design, troubleshooting, and education support for Windows Server 2022 are provided online and Progent also can deliver onsite expertise for Microsoft Windows products in larger metropolitan areas across the U.S.
Managing a Hybrid Network Model that Incorporates 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, cybersecurity, setup, and monitoring for both Windows and Linux physical servers or VMs across your hybrid network. This can include servers running on-prem, on Azure, on multiple public clouds like AWS EC2 instances and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on every server, you can build a unified management experience that handles each machine in a hybrid network as an Azure resource that can benefit from basic Azure constructs like Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Designing, implementing, managing, and maintaining efficient hybrid networks that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all demand broad knowledge and real-world experience that is outside the skill set of typical network support groups in small and midsize organizations. Progent's roster of subject-matter experts can deliver as-needed guidance for any facet of hybrid network design and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and cybersecurity specialists can assist you to assess the possible benefits of Windows Server 2022 for your company and build and manage a hybrid network that includes Windows Server 2022 and that provides optimum strategic value.
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Expertise from Progent
If you require guidance moving to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 from an earlier version of Windows Server, Progent can provide the skills to make your migration smooth, economical, and on time. Progent can help you to:
- Inventory all workloads and server roles on your current Windows Servers
- Move your VMs 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 network model
Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. The Datacenter versions include Software-defined Networking (SDN), Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter versions also allow unlimited VMs and Hyper-V isolated Containers (vs. two each for Microsoft's Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition supports Hotpatching. Most of these technologies are described in Windows Server 2016 consulting services.
The two install modes available for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with conventional applications and role-based workloads but does not have a local desktop management interface. This so-called "headless" version has the advantage of a small size and a small attack area, but Server Core needs to be managed remotely via the command line, Microsoft PowerShell, or a GUI tool like Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a full installation and includes a complete GUI that allows direct administration. Progent's consultants 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-premises, cloud-hosted, or hybrid deployment model for Windows Server 2022.
