Windows Server 2025 is now available, aimed at delivering a secure and high-performance platform that adapts to the diverse needs of customers. This new version facilitates application deployment across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

Advanced Multilayered Security

With cybersecurity being a critical concern, Windows Server 2025 incorporates a range of security features to protect data and infrastructure:

• Active Directory (AD) enhances identity and authentication security with new capabilities for scalability and better encryption.
• File services/SMB hardening introduces SMB over QUIC, ensuring secure access to file shares and improved defenses against man-in-the-middle and spoofing attacks.
• Delegate Managed Service Accounts (dMSA) automate password management and enhance security visibility by delegating permissions more efficiently.

Cloud Agility Anywhere

Windows Server 2025 offers advanced hybrid cloud capabilities to improve operational flexibility:

• Hotpatching enabled by Azure Arc minimizes disruptions by allowing customers to receive updates without system reboots.
• Easy Azure Arc onboarding integrates Azure capabilities into on-premises datacenters, facilitating better management and security of hybrid environments.
• Software-defined network (SDN) multisite features provide seamless workload migration and uniform network policy management across multiple sites.

AI, Performance, and Scale

This release is equipped to manage demanding workloads including AI:

• Hyper-V enhancements facilitate GPU partitioning and distribution of large data sets, catering to both traditional and advanced applications.
• NVMe storage capabilities boast up to 60% improved IOPS performance compared to the previous version.
• New scalability options include maximum memory support of 240 TB per VM and up to 2048 virtual processors per VM.

System Center 2025 Launch

Alongside Windows Server 2025, Microsoft has released System Center 2025. This release is tailored for enhanced management of server infrastructures at scale, focusing on agility, performance, and security.
