Microsoft is renowned for its operating systems, Office applications, and Servers. The Windows Server is one of the most popular and deployed platforms to build an application, network, or web service’s infrastructure. Windows Server Standard is the basic version that will provide you with two VMs (Virtual Machines) and on Hyper-V with a single license. In 2021, Microsoft initially announced the release of Windows Server 2022 Standard as a successor to previous ones. As a successor, it has most of its predecessor’s features, new ones, and enhancements.

What Are the New Features of Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard?

As mentioned, Microsoft has designed its latest Server 2022 Standard with many new features and performance improvements. The most fabulous thing is that it has a faster integration with the cloud services like OneDrive. So, let’s be introduced to the new features and the improvements that will provide you with a new Server using experience;

The Platform Improvements

Image size is important when deploying a containerized application, especially when you want to start the deployment process quickly. The Server core image size has been reduced by 33% in this latest version of Windows Server to speed up your container application start. Moreover, the port exhaustion issue of Kubernetes services and pods on a node has been resolved, along with the improvements in the Host Networking Service (HNS) control plane and data plane. Also, the increased reliability across Container Networking Interface (CNI) restarts in Kubernetes will enhance the platform’s performance.

Security

For every system, security is one of the most critical concerns. Keeping this in mind, several improved security measures have been included in Server Standard 2022 by Microsoft, like secure core servers, secured connectivity, and enhanced security for Virtual Machines (VMs). The secure core server is a security standard developed by Microsoft developers to protect firmware and hardware from malicious attacks. Secured connectivity will protect the server against network-based malicious attacks by enforcing secure communication between servers. Moreover, it also supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3, and it can provide more robust encryption and improved performance. Overall, Microsoft has implemented security measures for every Server component to provide a more secure experience.

In this Server edition, Microsoft has introduced a new hardware root-of-trust based on Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. This will provide you with a secure, hardware-based store for sensitive cryptographic data and keys for you.

The Protected VMs

With this latest Server version, your Virtual Machines are more protected as this version contains the security feature to protect the Virtual Machine firmware and startup data. It means your Virtual Machines and its data are more secure and protected against malicious threats, even from the threats that emerged from the firmware vulnerabilities.

Cloud Management

Regarding remote management, cloud service has become a basic necessity for a user. Cloud management has got easier in Standard Server edition 2022, as Microsoft has made many improvements to its cloud management system. The addition of Hybrid Clouds technology in this Server version offers on-demand app compatibility.

Networking

Most of the modern networking tools have been included in Windows Server Standard 2022 version. The TLS (Transport Layer Security) have been added to provide you with a more secure connection between two nodes. TCP Fast Open or TFO will make the TCP connection faster and more stable. TCP HyStart++ have been used in Standard Server 2022 to minimize data packet loss during the connection startup. This is the most efficient technology for a high-speed internet connection. Also, Microsoft has introduced RACK technology to reduce server connection RTOs (Retransmit Time Outs).

Hybrid Capabilities

Microsoft Windows Server Standard 2022 comes with enhancements of hybrid capabilities. It allows you to connect, control and manage your cloud resources and Azure services for individual and organizational purposes. The Windows Admin Center will enable you to manage your on-premise servers and Azure resources from a single console. On top of that, the inclusion of Azure Arc integration will allow you and your organizations to manage Server instances using Azure tools and services. The enhancements of Hyper-V and VM security measures have added a new layer to the hybrid capabilities of this recent Server version. Moreover, the packet forwarding performance of the Hyper-V virtual switch (vSwitch) has been improved significantly.

Container Improvements

This latest Windows Server version supports the Containerized Windows application with GUIs (Graphical User Interface). Previously, this feature was only available for Linux containers. The support for Kubernetes, networking container enhancements, and HNS improvements have made it easy to manage and control the containerized Server applications. With the improvement of HNS (Hosted Network Service), you can now use multiple restrictive subnets for each Windows worker node.

Application Compatibility

The combination of gMSA (Group Managed Service Accounts) and Windows containers will facilitate you with the AD (Active Directory) authentication. gMSA for containers with the non-domain joined host will allow you to create containers without joining the host node to the domain. Microsoft has implemented full support of IPv6 for Kubernetes in Windows Server, and it will add an extra layer to your expectations.

Performance

For faster and more stable performance, this latest Server edition has got enhancements like faster networking speed, reduced usage of CPU, and improved server file performance. The new SMB Direct over RoCEv2 provides quicker and more efficient network communication between servers. Also, the encryption improvements have reduced CPU usage and improved the overall performance of Windows Server. Moreover, file server performance is enhanced with the new SMB compression feature, which reduces the amount of data transmitted over the network.

Storage

The improved Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) performances, persistent memory, and a new feature have been added to this latest version of the Server for managing and monitoring the Storage component. S2D enables you to create a highly available and scalable storage solution using the commodity hardware of your system. The persistent memory support allows you to use non-volatile memory to cache data, which can significantly improve storage performance. New storage management features like Storage Migration Service, Storage Replica, and Storage Insights will make you manage and monitor your Server storage infrastructure easier.

Adjustable storage repair speed is the new feature introduced in this recent version. This feature gives you more control over the data synchronization process. With this feature, you can repair data copies and run active workloads to utilize the cluster service efficiently. The Service Message Block (SMB) compression feature will let you compress the files without third-party applications. Moreover, you can easily migrate the storage to Azure cloud service and Windows Server more efficiently as it gets enhanced in this version.

Windows Admin Center

Windows Admin Center is a browser-based tool to manage servers and clusters. This tool lets you manage and control your servers and clusters from a single console. You can also manage the on-premises servers, virtual machines, and Azure resources with Windows Admin Center. The latest version of Windows Admin Center also includes new features for managing containers, storage and other Server components. In contrast, Windows Server 2022 Standard offers various features and improvements for every server component. These features are designed to help you and your organization meet the IT requirements and improve overall productivity and efficiency.
