There are so many incredible new features in Windows Server 2019, it is going to be hard to keep this blog short. Today's blog will give an overview of how Windows Server 2019 and HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers offer value to 3 focuses: Security, Hybrid Cloud, and Hyper Converged Infrastructure.  

Security 
Building on the impressive security features found in Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 continues to raise the bar and offers users many new security features. Do your customers need be able to manage privileged identities, secure their operating system, and secure virtualization fabric? Windows Server 2019 offers security features to help with all of these (and more!).  

- Manage privileged identities: Give administrators and system components just enough access privilege with Just Enough Administration 

- Secure the operating system: Discover and address security breaches with Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection 

- Secure virtualization fabric: Run Linux inside a protected virtual machine with Shielded VMs for Linux and protect network traffic with the flip of a switch with Encrypted Subnets.  

 
I can't talk about security without mentioning HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers, the world's most secure industry standard servers. When you pair the new and advanced security features of Windows Server 2019 with HPE ProLiant Gen10 security features such as our Silicon Root of Trust technology and secure supply chain, you, and your customers, can rest assured knowing they have the pinnacle of security keeping their IT secure.   

Hybrid Cloud 
With the popularity of the cloud, your customers may be asking you more and more about their cloud options. How can they best utilize the cloud? We recommend utilizing a hybrid cloud approach, extending their on-premise to the cloud and adding built-in hybrid management capabilities with Windows Server 2019. HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers with Windows Server 2019 offers many new features that bridge on-premises environments with Microsoft Azure Services such as Azure File Sync and Enhanced Active Directory Authentication.  

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) 
Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI) is a growing trend in the server industry embraced by organizations of all shapes and sizes for cost and performance reasons. In hyper-converged deployments, compute, storage, and networking are on the same cluster helping to simplify configuration, reduce cost, and maximize server investments. Running Windows Server 2019 on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers gives organizations many new HCI features. For example, Windows Admin Center (WAC) an elegant browser-based HCI remote management interface that includes software-defined network configuration and monitoring and gives users full control over all aspects of their server with no Azure or cloud dependency.    

For SMBs ready to migrate to Windows Server 2019, HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers can provide a simple and affordable path to transformation!
