Microsoft's new Windows Server 2022 Standard is ideal for small-to-medium-sized businesses that operate in physical or minimally virtualised environments. The license is core-based, so you must cover each physical core on the CPU. This product allows for the licensing of up to 16 cores. You also need a Client Access License (CAL) for each client that accesses Windows Server Standard edition.

Windows Server 2022 offers a wealth of new security features against advanced threats for physical servers. The baseline requirements for the hardware have been raised in order for Microsoft to be able to guarantee the higher level of protection. Improvements to Windows containers, better Azure integration, enhanced scalability, and more await you with Server 2022 Standard.

Features

► Better security with Secure Core Servers - To counteract the rise of firmware attacks, Microsoft is taking full advantage of the tech incorporated into newer devices. HVCI, Boot DMA Protection, System Guard, Secure Boot, VBS, and TPM 2.0 all contribute to a trusted hardware platform that supports features such as full volume encryption, protection against credential attacks, Secure Boot and more.

► Enhances Azure integration - Experience a more integrated Azure with Windows Server 2022. Installing updates is also made easier with Hotpatch. Enhancements to Storage Migration Service make migrating storage to Windows Server or to Azure from more source locations easier.

► An improved Windows Admin Center - Enjoy faster startup thanks to a simplified Windows Container experience with Kubernetes that includes support for host-process containers for node configuration, IPv6, and consistent network policy implementation with Calico. Windows Server 2022 now supports business-critical and large-scale applications, such as SQL.

► Nested Virtualization for AMD processors - Run Hyper-V inside of a Hyper-V virtual machine and take advantage of more choices for hardware for your environments.

► 2 Virtual Machines - Additionally to the basic Windows Server 2022 functionalities, Windows Server 2022 Standard can run two operating system environments or virtual machines.

► Single Storage Replica - Standard edition supports limited Storage Replica feature with a 2 TB volume.

Also, you can get up to 15.5 hours of battery life and up to 19 hours with the ARM-based model.

Color options for the Pro 9 include Platinum, Graphite, Sapphire, and Forest, but the color availability will depend on the model you choose. Of course, the detachable keyboard and Slim Pen are sold separately.
