Microsoft Windows Server 2022 DataCenter

Windows Server 2022 DataCenter available for purchase at a low price, benefiting from reliability and performance including immediate download

With the Microsoft Windows Server 2022 DataCenter edition of Windows Server 2022, the software company from Redmond builds on the strengths of Windows Server 2019 and helps large companies and organizations to establish a stable and high-performance network structure. The new version relies on numerous improvements and exclusive features. The server operating system offers advantages especially for companies that want to purchase Windows Server 2022 DataCenter and use it in a "hybrid cloud scenario." Part of the overall package is, among other things, better connectivity to Microsoft Azure through the use of the browser-based tool Windows Admin Center.

More security in Windows Server 2022 DataCenter

Security remains a major topic in the server area. With the Windows Server 2022 DataCenter edition, Microsoft again responds to current threats from the World Wide Web and improves its server operating system in numerous areas. Of particular interest to users is the collaboration with Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection. This protection mechanism specializes in detecting threats without signature files and effectively protects against rootkits and zero-day attacks that conventional antivirus scanners do not recognize, thanks to cloud connectivity. Additionally, there is simpler and better encryption that also includes network traffic and virtual machines (VMs).

Express updates and better integration of Microsoft Azure

Users of the Windows Server 2022 DataCenter edition also benefit from Microsoft's express updates, as already known from the desktop operating system Windows 10. The major advantage is that the new express updates are significantly smaller than the delta updates previously common in Windows Server. The express updates, which work similarly to incremental backups, not only speed up downloading and installation but also reduce the number of necessary reboots of the servers used. The new version is also characterized by closer integration with Microsoft Azure. This, in turn, opens up new possibilities for users of the Windows Server 2019 DataCenter edition, such as simplified file synchronization, data backup via Azure Backup, or equipping file servers with Azure Files from the cloud. In addition to connecting clusters to Microsoft Azure, there is also the option to back up data to the cloud using the Storage Migration Assistant. New is also the better virtualization of Linux servers under Windows Server 2022 and their protection via "shielded VMs," which was previously only possible with Windows servers. Through the Windows Subsystem for Linux, Linux distributions can now also be integrated within the Windows installation with Windows Server 2022. This has the advantage that Linux servers can now also be conveniently managed from Windows servers using Linux commands.

Flexible licensing concept for large organizations

Companies that purchase Windows Server 2022 DataCenter continue to benefit from a well-thought-out licensing concept that scores with maximum flexibility. Like the standard edition, Windows Server 2022 DataCenter is licensed per processor core. Additional client access licenses (CALs) may be required for access; the specific delivery scope of this offer must be checked based on the SKU. As with the predecessor, the "8-core minimum" per processor and the "16-core minimum" per server still apply.
