Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition

Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition

Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition is the newest base version of the low virtualized software built for high traffic container environments. This innovative software focuses on providing a high level of flexibility of use and control to businesses in need of a solution to manage cloud-ready workloads with more ease. Windows Server 2019 also helps to prevent malicious attacks against your system with a strengthened security suite that also detects any suspicious activity as a preventative measure. Users can change existing applications into cloud-ready solutions and help developers to create new apps using containers, micro services, and the new Nano Server. Your data center can be run with an automated and resilient operating system and will have access to many of the same cloud-efficient features found in Microsoft Azure data centers.

With Windows Server 2019 Standard, users gain access to features such as server virtualization, storage, software-defined networking, web application platforms, server management and automation, information protection, virtual desktops, and much more. One of Microsoft’s newest features with 2019 is Nano Server, a headless installation option for Windows Server 2019, and has a 93% lower VHD size than Windows Server.

Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition Features:

Enhance Security with Windows Server 2019

Rely on new layers of protection built into the operating system to further safeguard against security breaches. Help block malicious attacks and enhance the security of your virtual machines, applications, and data.

Virtualize without compromising security

Use Shielded Virtual Machines to help protect your virtual machines from a compromised fabric as well as improve your compliance. Shielded Virtual Machines are encrypted using Bitlocker and will run on healthy hosts.

Protect Administrator Credentials 

Help guard administrator credentials from Pass-the-Hash attacks by using Credential Guard and Remote Credential Guard. Limit administrator privileges with Just-In-Time Administration and Just Enough Administration.

Protect the applications that run on your operating system, anywhere it’s deployed

Enhance the protection of your applications on-premises or running in the cloud. Help ensure only trusted software runs on the server with Device Guard. Help protect against memory corruption attacks with Control Flow Guard. Help protect against known malware with Windows Defender optimized for server roles.

Detect security threats quickly

Help detect suspicious behavior in the kernel or other sensitive processes with advanced auditing capabilities. Plus, use Microsoft Operations Management Suite Insights & Analytics tools to set up alerts and reporting.

Increase application isolation 

Help protect container-based applications with Hyper-V containers. Use the distributed firewall, a software-defined networking capability, to control internal and external network traffic to virtual machines.

Increase efficiency & agility with a software- defined datacenter

Solve your operational and budgetary challenges. Blend physical and virtual infrastructures together through software-defined compute, storage, and networking technologies.

Rely on resilient compute

Run your datacenter with the utmost confidence with an automated, resilient server operating system.

Get affordable high-performance storage

Increase datacenter efficiency and reduce storage management costs with software-defined storage capabilities

Respond faster with rapid network scale

Move your network-control layer from hardware to software. Automatically balance and shift workloads without setting switches.

Innovate faster when you build apps on Windows Server 

Transform the way you develop, deploy, and run your applications with a modern DevOps environment. Bring agility, scale, and security benefits to existing applications, while building next-generation applications optimized for the cloud.

Run current applications on a secure, software-defined fabric 

Run your existing apps on Windows Server 2016 without modifying them. Take advantage of enhanced security and efficiency features on the fabric.

Move existing apps to containers 

Move your traditional applications into a modern DevOps environment with little or no code changes. Enable “write-once, run-anywhere” apps to deploy on-premises, to any cloud, or in a hybrid architecture with containers. It’s consistency across dev, test, and production.

Build cloud and hybrid apps

Combine the benefits of containers with Nano server, Azure Service Fabric, and Windows Server for true business agility in cloud-native apps. Create micro services applications using fewer and compressed resources. Develop faster using the lightweight Nano Server installation option. And use Service Fabric to build always-on, scalable, and distributed applications to run in Azure, on-premises, or both.
