Windows Server 2022 Consulting Services:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Troubleshooting
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 builds on the design of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and associated products to provide enhancements in crucial areas that include layered security, native compatibility in Microsoft Azure for major Windows Server applications, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud network models, plus higher availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted virtual machines.
Headline innovations in Windows Server 2022 and related technology include:
- Secured-core server hardware guards against new-generation security threats
- Default support for (TLS) 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication channels
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites deliver military-grade Server Message Block encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS permits DNS queries between Windows Server 2022's DNS client and the DNS server to travel across an encrypted HTTPS connection instead of in plain text. This protects the DNS query from exposure to unauthorized parties.
- The introduction of Azure Arc allows you to administer physical as well as virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers running outside Azure (such as on-prem and on different public clouds) the same way you manage Azure-hosted virtual machines, giving you a unified management toolset throughout your hybrid network
- Hotpatching increases availability by permitting you to install planned updates on new Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the requirement to restart after applying the patch
- Reducing the Windows Container image by up to 40% results in quicker startup and better overall performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center simplifies the process of containerizing .NET applications
- The new Storage bus cache feature for standalone servers (not servers in a Failover Cluster) can, like Storage Spaces Direct, cache inexpensive media with fast solid-state disks to speed up storage performance affordably. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, refer to Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct integration experts.
Progent's Microsoft-certified Windows Server consultants can assist your business to integrate Windows Server 2022 with current releases of Microsoft's key applications by delivering support such as Exchange Server consulting, SQL Server 2019 expertise, SharePoint 2019 development, and Microsoft 365 configuration. Progent's consulting, debugging, and training support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are provided online and Progent also offers on-premises expertise for Microsoft products in larger metropolitan areas across the United States and Canada.
Managing a Hybrid Cloud Environment that Includes Microsoft Windows Server 2022
You can integrate Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid ecosystem by deploying Azure Arc. Azure Arc offers unified management of policy, cybersecurity, setup, and monitoring for Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers across your hybrid infrastructure. This can include servers running on premises, hosted on Microsoft Azure, on different popular clouds such as AWS EC2 instances and Google Cloud, or in edge scenarios. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on each server, you can create a consistent management environment that treats every machine in a hybrid network as an Azure asset that can benefit from basic Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Planning, implementing, administering, and maintaining efficient hybrid networks that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all require in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience that is beyond the scope of typical network support groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's group 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 network security experts can assist you to assess the possible advantages of Windows Server 2022 for your organization and create a hybrid IT environment that incorporates Windows Server 2022 and that provides maximum business value.
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Expertise from Progent
If you require technical assistannce moving to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 from a prior release of Windows Server, Progent offers the skills to make your migration smooth, within budget, and on time. Progent can assist your company to:
- Compile an inventory the apps and server roles running on your existing Windows Servers
- Move your VMs from earlier versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Plan a network management solution based on the most appropriate technologies for your situation
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 is available in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. The Datacenter versions support Software-defined Networking (SDN), Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter editions also allow unlimited virtual machines 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 technologies 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 supports standard applications and role-based workloads but does not have a local desktop interface. This "headless" alternative has the advantage of a small footprint with a correspondingly small attack surface, but Server Core must be managed externally through the command line interface, PowerShell, or a graphical interface utility like Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a full version and features a complete GUI that permits direct management. Progent's consultants can help you to choose the editions and install options best fitted for your situation, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing requirements, and select an efficient on-prem, cloud-based, or hybrid network architecture for Windows Server 2022.
