It is Microsoft’s operating system for servers. As with each new version, it brings changes to achieve an improvement in performance and also logically to correct security problems that may exist. Microsoft has reported some of the changes that come with the new version of Windows Server 2022. One of them is the AES-256 encryption feature for SMB. It has also included support for TLS 1.3.
Since version 2012, Microsoft has offered the Server OS in two main editions, which differ primarily in terms of virtualization rights. Since Server 2016, however, the Datacenter Edition has received exclusive features that are missing in the standard edition. These include Shielded VMs, Storage Replica, and software-defined storage with Storage Spaces Direct.
This difference remains in the 2022 version, where the Standard Edition is limited to two virtual instances and only includes a stripped-down version of Storage Replica (limited to one partnership with a maximum of 2 TB volumes).
