HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE HPE MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2025 STANDARD ROK LICENSE

Maximize your Microsoft Windows Server 2025

• Hotpatch: Security updates without the need for a reboot (available in Azure for servers with Arc), as well as multi-layered security; secured-core server technology: Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and system protection.
• Active Directory (AD): LDAP support for TLS 1.3 removes obsolete cryptographic algorithms; Kerberos compatible with AES SHA256/384; new domain controllers increased to 32,000 pages; built-in RootDSE mod.
• WAC for managing hybrid and local servers; container extension in WAC; reduction of WS container base size; simplification of containerization for .NET, ASP.Net, Web Deploy, and MSI applications.
• Hyper-V: GPU partitioning (GPU-P) allows sharing a GPU between multiple virtual machines; compatibility with live migration and clustering for failover; virtual machine scalability: Supports 240 TB of RAM; supports 2048 LP.
• Storage migration services: Optimized NVMe; lower CPU consumption; improvements in software-defined storage: Optimized deduplication and compression for Resilient File System (ReFS).
• Fluid management of hybrid server environments, storage migration, system information, virtual machine protection, server file synchronization, and improved Active Directory authentication.

Advanced Security

• For hybrid use cases when using Microsoft Windows Server 2025, both locally and in Azure: Get crucial updates with less downtime. Hotpatching allows many security updates to be applied without the need for a reboot. Possibility of a complementary Azure service for servers with Arc.
• Multi-layered security; secured-core server technology: Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and system protection to boot Windows Server more securely and minimize the risk of firmware vulnerabilities.
• Windows Defender Credential Guard, virtualization-based security. Windows Defender Exploit Guard offers a set of functionalities for preventing host intrusions. Integrating Windows Defender ATP provides deep access to memory and kernel sensors.
• Virtualization-based security (VBS) enclaves allow isolation of sensitive workloads; VBS key protection to protect cryptographic keys.
• Active Directory: LDAP support for TLS 1.3 removes obsolete cryptographic algorithms; Kerberos compatible with AES SHA256/384; new domain controllers increased to 32,000 pages; built-in RootDSE mod; Microsoft Windows Server 2025 compatible with AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites for SMB encryption.

Hybrid Cloud Capabilities

• WAC: Management of local and hybrid servers at no additional cost.
• Azure hybrid service tool in WAC and Azure Monitor; fluid management of hybrid server environments, storage migration, and system information (predictive analysis capabilities for Windows Server), which protects virtual machines and synchronizes server files.
• For hybrid use cases when using Microsoft Windows Server 2025 both locally and in Azure: Azure Monitor can collect data directly from physical or virtual Windows computers in a Log Analytics workspace for detailed analysis and correlation.

High-Performance Infrastructure

• Microsoft Windows Server 2025 offers a modern operating system that allows for improved virtual machine memory, higher compatibility with processors and devices, superior congestion control, and improvements in encryption and network connectivity.
• Storage Migration Service provides a graphical tool that performs an inventory of data on Windows, Linux®, and NetApp CIFS servers, to then transfer data to newer servers or Azure virtual machines.
• Container extension in WAC allows for application containerization, as well as troubleshooting containers running on a host, such as opening a console connection to a connector, checking logs, reviewing resource consumption, and much more.
• Microsoft has drastically reduced the size of the Windows Server kernel base container image through the reduction of duplicate loads and unused optional components.
• Improvements in software-defined storage: Optimized ReFS deduplication and compression (for workloads such as virtual machines); saves up to 60% of storage for server files and up to 90% of storage for VHD/ISO/backups; storage replica compression available in all Windows Server editions.
