Windows Server: Operating system for users with special requirements
The Windows operating system is very popular, especially in the PC sector. One of its greatest advantages is its simple and intuitive operation. This also characterises the server operating system from Microsoft. This makes it very easy to manage all the functions of the server. Familiarisation is therefore quick. In addition, the Windows server offers many other advantages. For example, it contributes to an excellent performance of the entire system through a very efficient management of all processes that run on the server. Furthermore, the operating system offers you many practical additional functions. Thus, you can use the server for many tasks. In addition, the Windows Server offers a wide range of security features. In this way, you ensure good protection of your sensitive company data.
The current server operating system from Microsoft: Windows Server 2022
The first version of the Windows Server operating system appeared many years ago. During this time, however, the hardware equipment of most servers has expanded significantly. In addition, users require many new functions that were not necessary in the past. In addition, there are many new threats from cyber-attacks. To meet all these ever-changing requirements, Microsoft keeps developing new versions for the server operating system. The latest adaptation took place in August 2021, at which time Microsoft released Windows Server 2022. If you opt for this version, you will benefit from a wide range of advantages. The current version supports powerful hardware, it offers many practical functions and also ensures comprehensive security.
Among the new features, the newly designed Windows Admin Center is particularly worth mentioning. This makes the administration of the server even easier. When setting up and managing virtual machines, you now benefit from a much more intuitive mode of operation. There have also been some important innovations in the area of network management. For example, support for the TCP and UDP protocols has been improved. Therefore, with the Windows Server 2022 version, you also benefit from simpler control and better performance in this area. The Storage Migration Service also makes it easier to transfer data from other systems to your server.
Windows Server 2022 is also convincing in the area of security. For example, you now have the option of setting up a Secured Core Server. This means that you can move particularly sensitive information and applications to a separate area. This is particularly well protected. Another new security feature is the active defence against cyber attacks.
Windows Server 2022 Standard: the right choice for many companies
The Windows Server 2022 operating system is available in different editions. For small businesses with up to 25 employees, for example, the Essentials edition is a good choice. For companies in which more employees are to have access to the server, on the other hand, the Windows Server 2022 Standard is usually used. This has no restrictions with regard to the number of users. It is also characterised by a comprehensive range of functions, so that it is the right choice for most users.
Another alternative is the Datacenter Edition. As with the Standard Edition, there are no restrictions on the number of users. The main difference is in the virtualisation options. If you use the Windows Server 2022 Standard, you can set up a maximum of two virtual machines - which is, however, perfectly sufficient for a large proportion of companies. With the Datacenter Edition, on the other hand, there is no restriction in this respect. Therefore, this version is also best suited for companies with a high virtualisation requirement. There are also a few other small differences in the software's range of functions.
The required licences
For the use of the Windows Server 2022 Standard operating system, it is important to pay attention to the correct licensing. This is core-based. The basic licence covers use on a system with a maximum of 16 system cores.
In addition to the licence for the actual operating system, you must also license the individual users. These each require a Client Access Licence (CAL). You can either purchase a licence for the individual employees or for the devices used.
Windows Server 2022 Standard 2 Core: licence for two additional system cores
For most companies, the licence for 16 system cores is sufficient. However, if you operate a very powerful server, it is possible to increase this limit. For this purpose, you can purchase the Windows Server 2022 Standard 2 Core add-on available here. This extends your existing licence by two additional cores.
