Microsoft Windows Server 2022 is the follow-on operating system (OS) release to the Windows Server 2019 operating system. Microsoft starting from Windows server 2016 has continued its heavy focus on cloud and hosting providers. Also, understanding the scope and opportunities in the field of Hyper-Converged Infrastructures, it has planned enhancements for Storage Spaces Direct, Software Defined Networking, and Secured Server Core in Windows Server 2022.
The new security capabilities in Windows Server 2022 combine other security capabilities in Windows Server across multiple areas to provide defense-in-depth protection against advanced threats. Advanced multi-layer security in Windows Server 2022 provides the comprehensive protection that servers need today.
Certified Secured-core server hardware from an OEM partner provides additional security protections that are useful against sophisticated attacks. This can provide increased assurance when handling mission critical data in some of the most data sensitive industries. A Secured-core server uses hardware, firmware, and driver capabilities to enable advanced Windows Server security features. Many of these features are available in Windows Secured-core PCs and are now also available with Secured-core server hardware and Windows Server 2022.
