SQL Server 2022 is a Microsoft database software that is designed to help businesses securely and efficiently store and manage data. SQL Server 2022 comes with a variety of new features and powerful tools to access and manage data.

Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is just what you need. They made it easier for installing and managing VMs in the new data center edition whether you want to minimize downtime or take advantage of the benefits of the cloud.

Windows Server 2022 datacenter offering you great new features like Application guards to protect virtual machines from malware without Changing the code. It also has the essential cloud-ready application platform and security solution for applications.

There are more and more cyber security threats and incidents, therefore, security is the top priority for customers.

So, windows Server 2022 introduces advanced multi-layer security, hybrid capabilities with Azure, and a flexible application platform. We are bringing secured-core capabilities to help protect hardware, firmware, and Windows Server OS capabilities against advanced security threats. Secured-core server builds on technologies such as Windows Defender System Guard and Virtualization-based Security to minimize risk from firmware vulnerabilities and advanced malware.

Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is the advance and most powerful Windows Server for your business. Easily keep up with these ever-evolving threats with our new security features like secured core, never worry about cyberthreats again.

Features:

Security

Today’s servers need comprehensive protection, and advanced multi-layer security and Windows Server 2022 Datacenter provides the same. The new security capabilities of Windows Server 2022 provide defense-in-depth protection against advanced threats by combining other security capabilities in Windows Server through multiple areas

Azure Hybrid Capabilities

Windows Server 2022 comes with built-in hybrid capabilities that help you increase your agility and efficiency, which ultimately eases the process of extending datacenters to Azure. Azure Arc enabled servers with this server version bring multi-cloud and on-premises Windows Servers to Azure with Azure Arc.

Application Platform

Windows Server 2022 introduces various platform improvements for Windows Containers, like Windows Containers' experience with Kubernetes and application compatibility.

Hardware root-of-trust

Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) secure crypto-processor chips provide a guarded, hardware-based store for sensitive cryptographic keys and data, including systems integrity measurements.

Firmware protection

Most antivirus solutions lack th ability to detect firmware, resulting in an increased firmware-based attacks. Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) enables secured-core server processors to support boot processes' measurement and verification. With Direct Memory Access (DMA) protection, it supports isolation of driver access to memory.

Virtualization-based security (VBS)

Secured-core servers support hypervisor-based code integrity (HVCI) and virtualization-based security (VBS). Using hardware virtualization features, VBS creates and isolates memory's secure region from the normal OS, securing against an entire class of vulnerabilities used in cryptocurrency mining attacks.

Azure Arc Enabled Windows Servers

The objective behind designing Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is to be consistent with the way of managing native Azure virtual machines is. On connecting to Azure, a hybrid machine becomes a connected machine and is treated as a resource in Azure.

Windows Admin Center

Advancements made in Windows Admin Center for the management of Windows Server 2022 include capabilities to both - report on the above-mentioned Secured-core features' current state and, where applicable, allow customers to enable the features.
