Microsoft Windows Server 2025: An OS of the Next Generation – What’s New Compared to Windows Server 2022

• Improved Management with Windows Admin Center
  In Windows Server 2025, Windows Admin Center has been further optimized to enable even more user-friendly and powerful management. The central management solution now supports even more comprehensive integration with Azure and hybrid cloud scenarios. New features for monitoring server resources and an enhanced user interface make Windows Admin Center even more powerful and intuitive than in Windows Server 2022.
• Enhanced Integration with Azure and Hybrid Cloud
  With Windows Server 2025, Microsoft has taken hybrid cloud features to the next level. New services like “Azure Automanage” and improved capabilities for managing on-premises resources and Azure resources on a single platform enable even smoother integration. Windows Server 2025 also offers enhanced security and compliance tools specifically designed for hybrid environments.
• Kubernetes and Container Management
  Windows Server 2025 builds on the Kubernetes features of Windows Server 2022 and offers even stronger support for containerized applications. New features like improved container orchestration, extended network plugins, and the ability to run both Windows and Linux containers on the same server make Windows Server 2025 the best choice for modern, containerized environments.
• Storage Migration and Cloud Migration
  Windows Server 2025 extends the Storage Migration Service introduced in Windows Server 2022. The new service offers an even simpler way to migrate both on-premises file servers to the cloud and modernize existing storage infrastructures. A highlight in this version is the improved support for migrating data to and from Azure Storage and the expanded support for cloud-native storage solutions.
• Optimized Network Features and IPv6
  Windows Server 2025 offers extended support for IPv6 as well as improved network performance. New features for optimizing network traffic and better integration of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enable faster and more flexible network management. Additionally, Windows Server 2025 provides improved management of network security policies, which are now even more robust and scalable.

Enhancements in Windows Server 2025: These Services Have New Features

With Windows Server 2025, Microsoft not only introduces new features but also builds on the existing strengths of its predecessor OS, Windows Server 2022. Some of the key enhancements include:

• Advancement of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)
  Windows Server 2025 introduces advanced features for the Software Defined Storage solution, Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). These include improved scalability for larger clusters, faster deduplication and compression features, and better integration with cloud storage solutions. The management of S2D through Windows Admin Center has also been further enhanced, significantly improving the user experience.
• Expanded Software Defined Networking (SDN)
  With Windows Server 2025, companies using mixed operating systems gain even more flexibility and security options. Support for additional Linux distributions, as well as enhanced SDN integration, enables more efficient management of heterogeneous environments. Additionally, features like Virtual Network Encryption and improved Network Security Policies have been introduced to further enhance security and performance.
• Windows Defender and Enhanced Security Features
  Windows Defender in Windows Server 2025 has been equipped with new security features and enhanced protective measures. The improved Exploit Guard provides even better protection against threats and vulnerabilities, while the extended integration of Microsoft Defender for Identity and Microsoft Sentinel enables more comprehensive threat analysis and defense. Windows Server 2025 also introduces new security standards for cloud workloads and hybrid environments.
• Improved Support for Edge Computing and IoT
  With the growing demand for edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, Windows Server 2025 offers advanced features for managing and integrating edge devices. Windows Server 2025 allows you to manage IoT devices and applications directly on-site while ensuring security and connectivity in large networks. This is especially beneficial for companies working with a wide range of distributed devices.
