Unique hybrid capabilities

Extend datacenter to the cloud

Only Microsoft offers consistent hybrid services, including a common identity platform with Active Directory, a common data platform built on SQL Server technologies, and hybrid management and security.

Add built-in hybrid management capabilities

Windows Admin Center delivers an elegant, browser-based view of Windows Server workloads running on-premises and in Azure. Easily connect Windows Server deployments to Azure services and use natively integrated services such as Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery without disrupting applications and infrastructure.

Enhanced Security

Manage privileged identities

Many breaches can be prevented by protecting administrator credentials. Windows Server 2019 ensure that all apps and system components have just enough access privilege.

Secure the operating system

Discover and address security breaches with integrated Windows Defender Advanced Threat Detection. Help prevent host intrusion with Windows Defender Exploit Guard, which locks down devices

against attack vectors and blocks behaviours commonly used in malware attacks.

Secure fabric virtualisation

Protect VM workloads from unauthorized

access, with Shielded Virtual Machines for Windows Server or Linux workloads. Protect network traffic with the flip of a switch with Encrypted Subnets.

Faster app innovation

Modernize apps faster with container support

Windows Server 2019 delivers a smaller Server Core container image for speedier download and offers enhanced support for compute, storage, and networking of Kubernetes clusters and the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Improve Linux operations

Building on previous support to run Linux and Windows containers side by side, Windows Server 2019 reduces complexity by enabling developers to use standard tools such as Open SSH, Curl, and Tar.

Unprecedented hyper-converged scale

Microsoft-validated solutions ready to go

Use turnkey Hyper-Converged Infrastructure solutions from your preferred hardware partner participating in

the Windows Server Software Defined (WSSD) program.

Get industry leading performance

Configurations are optimized for each

partner’s hardware and focus on performance, capacity, or a balanced approach.

Simplified management

Simplify daily management of HCI deployments with Windows Admin Center, an elegant, lightweight browser-based, locally deployed platform that brings together your resources for visibility and action.
