Windows Server 2022 Consulting:
Hybrid Cloud Network Solutions
Windows Server 2022 expands on the design of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and related products to provide enhancements in key areas that include in-depth security, integrated compatibility in Microsoft Azure for popular Windows Server applications, consistent administration for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, plus greater availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted virtual machines.
Important innovations in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related products include:
- Secured-core server hardware guards against advanced security attacks
- Default enabling of Transport Layer Security 1.3 and HTTPS hardens security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites provide military-grade Server Message Block (SMB) encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS permits DNS traffic between Windows Server's DNS client and the DNS server to travel along an encrypted HTTPS connection instead of in plain text. This protects the DNS query from eavesdropping by untrusted parties.
- The introduction of Microsoft's Azure Arc allows you to manage physical as well as virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers hosted outside Azure (such as on-prem and on different public clouds) the same way you administer Azure-hosted virtual machines, giving you a consistent management experience across your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching support increases availability by permitting you to install planned updates on current Windows Server Azure Edition virtual machines without the need to reboot after applying the patch
- Reducing the Windows Container image by up to 40% results in faster startup and higher performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center streamlines the process of containerizing .NET applications
- The new Storage bus cache for standalone servers (not servers in a Failover Cluster) can, as with Storage Spaces Direct, cache inexpensive spinning disks with fast solid-state disks (SSDs) to improve storage performance affordably. For a description of Storage Spaces Direct, see Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct experts.

Managing a Hybrid Cloud Network Model that Includes Microsoft Windows Server 2022
You can incorporate Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid ecosystem by deploying Azure Arc. Azure Arc offers unified management of policy, security, setup, and monitoring for Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers across your hybrid network. This includes servers located in your datacenter, on Microsoft Azure, on multiple public clouds like AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in various edge scenarios. By running the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can build a consistent management experience that treats every machine in a hybrid network as an Azure resource that can benefit from basic Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and the application of tags.
Designing, deploying, managing, and maintaining efficient hybrid solutions that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all demand broad knowledge and real-world experience that is beyond the skill set of typical IT groups in small and midsize companies. Progent's group of subject-matter experts can provide as-needed guidance for any facet of hybrid network planning and configuration. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified consultants, project managers, and cybersecurity specialists can assist you to assess the possible advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 for your company and build and manage a hybrid network that includes Windows Server 2022 and that delivers maximum strategic value.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Services from Progent
If you need technical assistannce migrating to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 from a prior version of Windows Server, Progent offers the knowledge to make your migration smooth, within budget, and on schedule. Progent can help your business to:

Microsoft Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. The Datacenter versions include Software-defined Networking, Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter editions also allow unlimited VMs 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 features are described in Windows Server 2016 integration services.
Two install modes for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core supports standard applications and role-driven workloads but does not have a local desktop interface. This "headless" alternative offers the benefit of a small size with a small attack area, but Server Core needs to be managed remotely via the command line interface, PowerShell, or a GUI utility such as Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a comprehensive version and features a rich graphical interface that allows direct administration. Progent's consultants can assist you to select the editions and installation options best fitted for your environment, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing requirements, and select an efficient on-premises, cloud-hosted, or hybrid network architecture for Windows Server 2022.
