Windows Server 2022 Datacenter - for virtually unlimited virtualization

The edition Windows Server 2022 Datacenter  raises the possibilities of virtualization - as well as the security of data and applications - to a new level: in addition to many enhancements and additions to features already known from the previous version, it has the ability to create software-defined HCI (hyperconverged) infrastructure platforms, which offer many advantages in Server- and Desktop-virtualization, because they are not only easier to implement and manage, but also to scale, simplifying the deployment of even complex IT infrastructures.

What added value does Windows Server 2022 Datacenter offer?

Basically, the Windows Server 2022 Edition Datacenter  offers the maximum in virtualization options - which is why it is particularly suitable for companies where virtualization plays an important role alongside the associated higher IT workloads. In the Datacenter edition, the number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers that can be run is unlimited, with a RAM limit of 24 TB. For this, the following important features are also available with maximum functionality:

Enhanced protection in the Cloud with Shielded Virtual Machines

Shielded VMs (Virtual Machines) enable the creation of highly secured virtualization infrastructures. Virtual Server are thus secured in such a way that data and applications stored in a public Cloud are reliably protected against unauthorized access or use. Existing VMs can also be converted to Shielded VMs and protected Linux VMs can also be created. The installation of Shielded VMs is done with the Server-Manager, in the Windows Admin Center or via PowerShell.

Software Defined Networking

The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) feature enables centralized configuration of both physical (such as routers, switches and gateways) and virtual network devices and elements (such as Hyper-V virtual switches, Hyper-V network virtualization and RAS gateways) as well as their dynamic management in Windows Server 2022  . Existing SDN-compliant devices can be used to achieve greater integration between the physical and virtual networks, as network layers are no longer tied to network devices. Windows Server in this regard, 2022 Datacenter Edition provides the ability to peer and seamlessly connect two networks, as well as firewall monitoring.

With SDN is possible, for example:

• Dynamically create, secure and connect networks
• Define policies to control physical and virtual networks
• Scale network policies
• Accelerate deployment of workloads
• Minimize network security risks
• Encrypted Networks for secure encryption of virtual networks via Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)

Software-Defined Storage

Software-Defined Storage (SDS) in Windows Server 2022  decouples storage hardware from storage software. As a result, data storage can be managed, scaled and provisioned independently of the underlying storage hardware. It can also be easily replaced or expanded without changing operational processes, which also contributes to cost efficiency.

Storage Replica

In Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, the Storage Replica function is available without restriction. This supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication of data, effectively preventing its loss at the file system level. While synchronous replication mirrors data at physical locations with fail-safe volumes, asynchronous replication between locations uses network links with higher latency. Disaster Preparedness and Recovery (DR) also minimizes the risk of downtime.

Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)

Storage Spaces Direct combines the local data storage of Server into a virtual cluster. Its nodes can connect different physical data carriers or data carrier systems, and communication between them takes place via the SMB protocol. S2D thus offers increased fail-safety, so that even several cluster nodes can fail in the event of a large number without the cluster itself being affected.

In addition to the simple implementation and management of software-defined storage (SDS) systems, Storage Spaces Direct also enables the creation of scalable, highly available storage systems, whereby the Server storage can be used independently of its hardware and thus more efficiently.

Other new features of Windows Server 2022

In addition to these exclusive features of the Windows Server 2022  Datacenter edition, companies also have access to the following important features:

Comprehensive Analysis with System Insights

Supported by a machine learning model, the predictive analytics feature System Insights is available in Windows Server 2022  . This provides insights into the operation of locally deployed Server by analyzing their performance indicators and events to make accurate predictions, which can help reduce the effort required for reactive administration of Windows Server instances, thereby helping to reduce operational costs.

Kubernetes and Linux support

In Windows Server 2022, Kubernetes and Linux are now better supported: Linux and Windows containers managed with Kubernetes can be used in parallel as a result. New functions such as container networking are also available for Kubernetes, and individual images have also been improved here.

Higher protection of data and network with Azure Services

Reliable protection not only of data, but also of network infrastructures, is becoming increasingly important in companies. In Windows Server 2022, powerful functions such as Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) with Exploit Guard and Domain Controller are available for this purpose.

Here, the hybrid features available in Windows Server 2022  enable improved protection of on-premises Active Directorys as well as easier use of Microsoft Azure services - so that closer collaboration between Windows Server and Azure Services enables easy synchronization of data or data backup, including with:

• Azure Backup
• Azure Site Recovery
• Azure Update Management
• Azure AD Banned Passwords
• Azure AD Password Protection as well as
• Azure Network Adapter

This connects a local Server with a virtual Azure network in the Azure Cloud. The Storage Migration Wizard also facilitates Server migration including data to Cloud, where Azure File Sync can act as the storage location.

Licensing with Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 2-Core

When licensing servers with Windows Server 2022 Datacenter  , the Microsoft license terms must also be observed for used software, which uses the number of cores as the basis for calculation. The following regulations apply:

General Microsoft License Terms for Windows Server 2022 Datacenter

Microsoft Server-Software such as Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is always initially licensed on the basis of the physical hardware. In addition to the number of physical Core processors, the number of virtual Server processors is also counted. One Server license always covers two physical processor cores. The Microsoft license terms are based on a minimum number of 8 cores Pro processor - regardless of whether the existing hardware has fewer than 8 cores. In addition, Pro physical Server is based on a minimum of 2 processors = 16 cores.

If a Windows Server company has a higher number of cores than 16, then these can also be flexibly licensed with 2-Core  packages to Windows Server 2022 Datacenter.

Other licensing requirements for Windows Server 2022 Datacenter

In a Hyper-V environment, all processors are licensed that correspond to the physical processor cores. Especially the edition Windows Server Datacenter entitles execution of an unlimited number of Hyper-V instances. The prerequisite for this is, as already stated, that all corresponding processor cores of the server have already been licensed.

No license is required for Linux instances in the Datacenter edition.

In addition to the Windows Server license, all clients - User and end devices - that access Windows Server 2022 must also be equipped with a client access license (CAL). Also User and Device CALs are available at Wiresoft cheap used.
