Built on the foundation of Windows Server 2016, it is embedded with numerous innovations and advanced features of hybrid capabilities with Azure, enhanced multi layer security, faster innovation for applications and an unmatched hyper-converged base.It allows developers and IT professionals to build cloud-native applications and standardize their conventional applications using micro-services. Being the fastest adopted version of Windows Server, it reduces the business risk with multi-layer protection built into the operating system and enables business administrators to evolve data center infrastructure to scale higher efficiency. As it is a Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release, it delivers robust Desktop Experience, where the user gets to choose between Server Core installations or Server with Desktop Experience installations. Particularly, added features of hybrid integration, host guardian service, storage replica, and core windows server differentiate it from its entrants.
Core Functionalities of Windows Server Standard 2019 Are As Follows:
Hybrid
It facilitates easy connection to the existing Windows Server deployments to Azure services and disparate interfaces for hybrid capabilities in the Windows Admin Center. It enables business administrators and IT professionals to use Hybrid features like Azure File Sync, Azure Backup, and Disaster Recovery to extend data centers to Azure. Windows Admin Center is a locally deployed, browser-based applications, that readily manages clusters, servers, and hyper-converged bases. Also, this ready-to-use production costs no additional investment. The Server Core App Compatibility substantially upgrades the compatibility of the application by including a subset of binaries and components from Windows Server.
Security
It follows a three-fold path on security, which includes Protect, Detect, and Respond. Rendering shielded VMs to protect sensitive virtualized workloads, such as PCI data, financial data, and Domain Controllers. Embedded with Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), it offers an integrated platform and sensors to suppress malicious attacks, files and terminate malicious processes. Offering Windows Defender ATP Exploit Guard, it locks down the device against an array of attack vectors and block all those conducts used in malware attacks. This enables business administrators to balance security and productivity needs. Additionally, it proffers an intuitive capability of Attack Surface Reduction (ASR), which helps IT pros prevent malware by blocking files, scripts, lateral movement, email-baes threats, and ransomware behavior. Also, network protection, controlled folder access,and exploit protection capabilities helps block any outbound process on the device, protect sensitive data by blocking untrusted processes, and prompts easy configuration to protect the entire system. Security with Software Defined Networking (SDN)increases customers’ confidence and trust in running workloads both on-premises and in the cloud efficiently.
Application Platform
An extensive support for Service Fabric and Kubernetes, and Linux containers on Windows has helped many business administrators, developers, and IT professionals modernize their conventional applications. Considering the complexity in navigating environments with Linux and Windows deployments, Microsoft extended Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) into insider builds for Windows Server. It has facilitated customers to run Linux containers along with Windows containers on a Windows Server. Container Networking enhances the usability of Kubernetes on Windows, where one can deploy workloads to use network security and embedded tools to protect both Windows and Linux services. Improved integrated identity, better application compatibility, reduced size, and high performance are some of the key organizational benefits.
Hyper-converged Infrastructure
This innovative functionality renders pocket-friendly,highly scalable and software-defined storage and networking, which enables robust deployments from small 2-node to 100s of servers with Cluster Set technology. With this intuitive capability, business administrators can swiftly migrate servers to a newer version of the Windows server efficiently. Rendering a graphical tool, it prompts inventorying data on servers, transferring and configuring data to newer servers, and moving the identities as well. Embedded with advanced Storage Replica, it enables storage-agnostic, block-level, and synchronous replications between servers or clusters for disaster recovery. The innovation covers a single vendor disaster recovery solution for both planned and unplanned outages, SMB3 transport, reduced downtime, performance metrics, diagnostic capabilities, and increased reliability to Windows.
Proffering easy administration to manage servers and improved Linux operations, Windows Server Standard 2019 eventually reduces the complexity of using standard tools, like Open SSH, Curl, and enable developers to draw optimum organizational benefits out if it. Moreover, UTC-compliant leap second support, high-performance SDN gateways, and persistent memory support make it a robust server to extend the data centers to the cloud and drive efficiency.
