Bridge on-premises and cloud with Windows Server 2019
While cloud services are essential to digital transformation—
enriching customer experiences through the latest articial
intelligence capabilities and scaling apps globally—many
organizations also want to drive innovation at the edge, starting
in their datacenters. Making this work requires a connected
experience across the cloud and edge and a consistent set of
experiences for security, containers, and management.
Windows Server 2019 helps you grow your business—and
extend operations to the cloud—from a position of strength.
It maximizes your existing investments and builds on Windows
Server security, app innovation, and Hyper-Converged
Infrastructure capabilities to help you bridge your on-premises
investments to the cloud.
Seamless hybrid operations
Many existing applications can move fast to cloud. In most cases, however,
organizations will need to manage multiple environments. Rather than piece
together a custom solution, professionals can turn to Windows Server 2019
and existing skills and knowledge to extend datacenters to the cloud. Plus,
they can use the same technologies to manage and secure it all.
Unique hybrid capabilities
• Extend datacenter to the cloud. Only Microsoft offers consistent hybrid
services, including a common identity platform with Active Directory, a
common data platform built on SQL Server technologies, and hybrid
management and security.
• Add built-in hybrid management capabilities. Windows Admin Center
delivers an elegant, browser-based view of Windows Server workloads
running on-premises and in Azure. Easily connect Windows Server
deployments to Azure services and use natively integrated services
such as Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery without disrupting
applications and infrastructure.

License innovation
Organizations that need faster access to new
features and capabilities typically choose the
Semi-Annual Channel as the servicing option
versus the more traditional Long-Term
Servicing Channel (LTSC).
The Semi-Annual Channel offers a release
every six months, with 18 months of support.
Each release will build on the prior one
and add new capabilities. In contrast, LTSC
offers releases every two to three years, and
includes ve years of mainstream support
and ve years of extended support. Semi-
Annual Channel capabilities are eventually
rolled into a future Long-Term Servicing
Channel release.
The Semi-Annual Channel works well for
customers that are innovating quickly in
applications, particularly those built on
containers and microservices architectures,
plus customers moving to a software-dened
hybrid datacenter. If you don’t have Software
Assurance active for your Windows Server
licenses, you can use the Semi-Annual
Channel images available in the Azure
marketplace or images provided by your
cloud service provider.

Enhanced security
Privacy and compliance concerns are some reasons organizations choose to
keep data on-premises. Safeguard intellectual assets with enhanced protections
made possible by Microsoft’s annual security investment of $1 billion and broader
support for Linux.
• Manage privileged identities. Many breaches can be prevented by protecting
administrator credentials. Windows Server 2019 ensure that all apps and
system components have just enough access privilege.
• Secure the operating system. Discover and address security breaches with
integrated Windows Defender Advanced Threat Detection. Help prevent host
intrusion with Windows Defender Exploit Guard, which locks down devices
against attack vectors and blocks behaviors commonly used in malware attacks.
• Secure fabric virtualization. Protect VM workloads from unauthorized
access, with Shielded Virtual Machines for Windows Server or Linux workloads.
Protect network trafc with the ip of a switch with Encrypted Subnets.
Bring Windows Server
licenses to Azure
Save money when you use Windows
Server licenses in Azure. The Azure Hybrid
Benet lets you bring your on-premises
Windows Server licenses with Software
Assurance to Azure. Rather than paying
the full price for a new Windows Server
virtual machine, you pay a reduced
compute rate.
Faster app innovation
Container technologies in Windows Server 2019 help IT pros and developers
collaborate as part of a DevOps approach to deliver applications faster. You can
also deliver container benets to existing apps with minimal code changes by
moving apps from virtual machines to containers.
• Modernize apps faster with container support. Windows Server 2019
delivers a smaller Server Core container image for speedier download and
offers enhanced support for compute, storage, and networking of Kubernetes
clusters and the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
• Improve Linux operations. Building on previous support to run Linux and
Windows containers side by side, Windows Server 2019 reduces complexity by
enabling developers to use standard tools such as Open SSH, Curl, and Tar.
Unprecedented hyper-converged scale
Hyper-converged features introduced in Windows Server 2016 helped changed the
way IT pros scaled storage and compute, and technology in Windows Server 2019
enhances these capabilities for faster time to value.
• Microsoft-validated solutions ready to go. Use turnkey Hyper-Converged
Infrastructure solutions from your preferred hardware partner participating in
the Windows Server Software Dened (WSSD) program.
• Get industry leading performance. Congurations are optimized for each
partner ’s hardware and focus on performance, capacity, or a balanced
approach.
