Cloud and VM Configuration and Management
Windows Server 2022 Consulting:
Hybrid Cloud Network Design
Windows Server 2022 builds on the design of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 and related tools and services to offer improvements in key areas such as layered cybersecurity, native compatibility in Microsoft Azure for major Windows Server applications, unified administration for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, plus greater availability for Microsoft Azure-hosted VMs.
Notable enhancements in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and related products include:
- Secured-core server hardware guards against advanced cyber attacks
- Default enabling of (TLS) 1.3 and HTTPS provides enhanced security for communication connections
- Support for AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites deliver military-grade SMB encryption
- DNS-over-HTTPS allows DNS traffic between Windows Server 2022's DNS client and the DNS server to go along an encrypted HTTPS interface instead of in simple text. This guards the DNS query from eavesdropping by untrusted parties.
- The release of Microsoft's Azure Arc enables you to manage physical as well as virtual Windows Server 2022 and Linux servers hosted outside Azure (such as at your datacenter and on multiple cloud providers) the same way you manage Azure-hosted VMs, giving you a consistent management toolset throughout your hybrid infrastructure
- Hotpatching improves availability by permitting you to install planned updates on new Windows Server Azure Edition VMs without the need to restart after installing the patch
- Shrinking the Windows Container image by as much as 40% results in faster startup time and higher performance
- Revamped Windows Admin Center streamlines the procedure for containerizing .NET apps
- The Storage bus cache feature for standalone servers (as opposed to members of a Failover Cluster) can, like Storage Spaces Direct, cache slower and less-expensive media with fast SSDs to speed up storage throughput affordably. For a discussion of Storage Spaces Direct, refer to Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct integration experts.

Managing a Hybrid Cloud Environment that Incorporates Windows Server 2022
You can incorporate Windows Server 2022 into a cohesive hybrid solution by deploying Azure Arc. Azure Arc offers centralized management of policy, cybersecurity, configuration, and monitoring for both Windows and Linux physical or virtual servers across your hybrid infrastructure. This can include servers running in your datacenter, on Azure, on different popular clouds like AWS EC2 and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By installing the Azure Connected Machine agent on every registered server, you can build a unified management experience that treats every system in a hybrid environment as an Azure asset that can take advantage of basic Azure constructs like Azure Policy and tag assignment.
Designing, deploying, managing, and maintaining efficient hybrid solutions that incorporate Microsoft Windows Server 2022 all require broad knowledge and hands-on experience that is beyond the scope of most IT teams in small and midsize organizations. Progent's group of subject-matter experts can provide on-demand expertise for any aspect of hybrid network planning and support. Progent's Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified engineers, project managers, and cybersecurity specialists can help your business to assess the potential advantages of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 for your organization and build and manage a hybrid IT environment that incorporates Windows Server 2022 and that delivers optimum business value.
Windows Server 2022 Upgrade Services from Progent
If you need guidance moving to Windows Server 2022 from an earlier version of Windows Server, Progent can provide the knowledge to make your migration efficient, within budget, and on schedule. Progent can help your business to:
- Document all workloads and server roles running on your current Windows Servers
- Migrate your VMs from older versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2022
- Review compliance and harden security across hybrid workloads
- Design a server management solution based on the most effective technologies for your situation
Microsoft Windows Server 2022 comes in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition releases. Both Datacenter versions include Software-defined Networking, Host Guardian Hyper-V Support, and Storage Spaces Direct. Both Datacenter editions also allow unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V isolated Containers (as opposed two each for the Standard Edition). Only Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition has Hotpatching. Most of these technologies are described in Windows Server 2016 consulting expertise.
The two installation options for Windows Server 2022 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core works with standard apps and role-driven workloads but does not have a local desktop interface. This so-called "headless" alternative offers the benefit of a small size and a correspondingly small attack area, but it must be managed remotely through the command line, Microsoft PowerShell, or a graphical interface tool like Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a comprehensive installation and features a complete graphical interface that permits direct management. Progent's experts can help you to choose the editions and installation options best fitted for your environment, become familiar with Microsoft's licensing rules, and design a resilient on-prem, cloud-based, or hybrid deployment model for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
