Windows Server 2019 Datacenter (2 core)

Windows Server 2019 Datacenter (2 Core) is the most complete and powerful version of Microsoft’s server operating system, aimed at large data centres, hybrid cloud environments, and enterprises that require scalability, advanced virtualisation and high security. Through its features, this edition is designed to maximise IT resource efficiency, with a focus on unlimited virtualisation and software-defined storage.

Key Features of Windows Server 2019 Datacenter

1. Unlimited Virtualisation
One of the biggest advantages of Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is that it allows you to run an unlimited number of virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server. This makes it the perfect solution for businesses looking to consolidate their servers and maximise hardware performance. Using Hyper-V, this edition provides a stable and flexible platform for managing multiple virtualised workloads, improving data centre efficiency.

2. Windows and Linux Containers
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter also supports running Windows and Linux containers, enabling enterprises to adopt modern and efficient microservices-based development environments. With Docker integration, enterprises can develop and manage containerised applications quickly while maintaining portability and flexibility. Containers allow developers to isolate their applications, helping to avoid conflicts between dependencies and software versions.

3. Software Defined Networking (SDN)
Datacenter Edition includes support for Software Defined Networking (SDN), an advanced technology that enables the automation and dynamic management of networks through software. With SDN, organisations can configure their networks in an agile manner, create advanced security policies, and optimise the use of network resources. In addition, software-defined networking is ideal for data centres looking to reduce dependency on specific hardware and increase flexibility.

4. Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter offers software-defined storage through Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), enabling highly available and scalable storage solutions. S2D enables the use of local hard drives on servers to create a resilient storage cluster, eliminating the need for expensive external storage hardware such as SAN or NAS solutions. In addition, it supports data deduplication and compression to maximise disk space utilisation.

5. Shielded VMs for Advanced Security
One of the most prominent security features of the Datacenter Edition is support for Shielded VMs, which protects virtual machines from unauthorised access by encrypting and isolating data. This is especially useful in environments where data protection is critical, as it helps ensure that virtual machines cannot be tampered with without proper credentials.

6. Hybrid Integration with Microsoft Azure
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Microsoft Azure cloud, making it easy to create hybrid environments that combine on-premises and cloud servers. This allows businesses to use cloud services for disaster recovery with Azure Site Recovery, or perform automated backups through Azure Backup. Integration with Azure also simplifies resource management, reducing administrative burden and optimising costs.

Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Practical Applications

Server Consolidation and Virtualisation
With the ability to run an unlimited number of virtual machines, Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is ideal for businesses looking to consolidate their IT infrastructure. This reduces the need to buy more physical servers, as multiple applications and services can run efficiently on virtual instances within a single server. This not only optimises resource usage, but also lowers hardware and energy costs.

2. Modern, Scalable Data Centres
For data centres that require a robust and scalable infrastructure, Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is the perfect solution. With features such as SDN and S2D, IT administrators can create dynamic environments that quickly adapt to changing business needs, without having to make large investments in hardware. The flexibility of this edition allows businesses to grow without worrying about physical infrastructure limitations.

3. Modern Application Management in Containers
Enterprises that develop and deploy modern applications can benefit greatly from Windows Server 2019 Datacenter’s support for Windows and Linux containers. This feature is key to adopting microservices-based architectures, where applications can be broken down into smaller, easily manageable components. Containers also improve application portability, making it easier to deploy in on-premises or cloud environments.

4. Software Defined Storage Solutions
Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) enables enterprises to deploy cost-effective and scalable storage solutions, leveraging existing hardware. This is especially useful for large data centres that handle massive amounts of information, as software-defined storage allows large volumes of data to be managed more efficiently and at lower cost. In addition, the ability to deduplicate and compress data improves disk space efficiency.
