Run business-critical workloads in Azure, on-premises, and at the edge with Windows Server 2022

Organizations are digitally transforming their operations and running business-critical workloads that span across cloud, on-premises, and the edge. As a result, the need to secure workloads and data has never been greater.

Windows Server 2022 enables you to run business-critical workloads anywhere — in your datacenter, in the cloud, and at the edge — while staying ahead of emerging security threats and helping secure your data. This release builds on the advancements made in Windows Server 2019, the fastest-adopted Windows Server ever.

Windows Server delivers advanced multi-layer security, hybrid capabilities with Azure, and a flexible platform to modernize applications with containers.

Advanced multilayer security

Public and private sectors continue to suffer major data breaches, at an average cost of $4.24 million in 2020. As cybersecurity threats escalate and the cost of incidents grows, security continues to be a top priority for customers. Windows Server 2022 includes enhanced security features with Secured-core server and secure connectivity.
