Windows Server 2019 - An Overview
Windows Server 2019 – An overview of the different versions
Since 2018, the new Microsoft server operating systems Windows Server are available. As with the predecessor Windows Server 2016, there are also different variants of Windows Server 2019 . Again, similar to Windows Server 2016 Essentials, there is the slimmed-down version of the operating system, Windows Server 2019 Essentials, and versions with a greater range of functions. Microsoft also offers a standard and a data centre variant. The versions differ in their range of functions and are thus aimed at different target groups and different purposes. How these differences look like and for whom which variant is the right one, we present in this blog article.
Only three versions of Windows Server left
Unlike the older edition, Windows Server 2012, Microsoft now only offers three versions of the Windows Server 2019 operating system. These are the Essentials, Standard and Datacenter versions. Versions such as the Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise variant are therefore no longer available. Those who are considering purchasing a server operating system should perhaps not get the older Windows Server 2016. This version is available today at a reasonable price, but the end of support in 2022 is already foreseeable. When purchasing a new system, it is worthwhile for security reasons to buy the latest version directly.
Windows Server 2019 Essentials
The most basic and affordable version of the operating system is the Windows Server Essentials version. While the feature set of Standard and Datacenter is very similar, Microsoft has programmed the Essentials variant with a reduced feature set and a small number of possible licensing options. This version is thus specifically tailored to small organisations and companies. Compared to Windows Server 2016 Essentials, the new version has been significantly improved, especially in the areas of „hybrid scenarios, „application innovation“, „hyper-converged infrastructure“ and „security“. Virtual networks can now be encrypted more easily with Microsoft’s Encrypted Networks and protected more reliably against forgery and eavesdropping attempts. Access to a network running Windows Server 2019 is automatically limited to 25 users and 50 devices. An organisation can only run one server with this operating system, as the Essentials Server must also be the domain controller. Therefore, this version is not interesting for institutions with more than 25 employees.
Windows Server 2019 Standard
The range of functions of the Standard version is already significantly greater than that of the Essentials version. Two virtualisation rights for two virtual machines can be used with the Standard version. The Standard version offers the possibility to buy additional rights. This means that institutions of any size can purchase the Windows Server 2019 Standard version with peace of mind if they need to use more advanced functions with their servers, but only need a small virtualisation level. The supported computing power of the Standard version is greater than that of the Essentials version. Windows Server 2019 Standard Multilingual and the Windows Server Standard Open Licence have a RAM limit of 24 TB and no CPU limit anymore. However, a minimum of 16 cores per server and 8 cores per processor are required.
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is the most comprehensive version of Windows Server 2019, and the hardware requirements are the same as the Standard licence. With the higher price for the Datacenter, in contrast to the Standard version, unlimited visualisation rights are also included, which means that this version is primarily aimed at larger companies that have particularly high demands on their IT systems and a high virtualisation requirement. In addition to the unlimited number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers, the Datacenter offers even more features. These include, for example, „Storage Spaces Direct“, which simplifies the work with Software Defined Storages. For example, the server’s memory can be used independently of its hardware. Other features of the data centre that the standard version does not offer are Shielded Virual Machines and software defined networking.

Windows Server 2019: Important innovations at a glance
Windows Server 2019: An overview of important new features
Better container support, optimised interaction with Azure and easier encryption. Here's a look at the best new features in the upcoming Windows Server 2019.
Windows Server 2019 comes with a wealth of new features. Collaboration with Microsoft Azure is improved, container technology is significantly expanded and Linux finds broad support. File servers with Windows Server 2019 can also be operated much more effectively and migrations can be carried out more easily. We give a preview of the ten best new features.
All the new features from Windows Server 1709/1803
Windows Server 2019 will include all the new features from the semi-annual versions Windows Server 1709 and Windows Server 1803. These include optimised container management, better Storage Spaces Direct, expanded support for Linux and more. There’s also the added benefit of Windows Server 2019 getting a graphical interface to make the new features easier to manage.
New container image with almost complete Windows server
With Windows Server 2019, Microsoft provides a new container image with the current name „windows“. In addition to the two images „nanoserver“ and „windowsservercore“, the „windows“ image is supposed to have a greatly expanded range of functions with which almost all Windows programmes can be used. This means that developers can also run apps in containers with which this is currently not possible.
Kubernetes support and better containers
In general, Microsoft wants to improve the work with containers with Windows Server 2019. Windows Server 2019 will work directly with Kubernetes so that hybrid container environments can also be operated. The individual images for containers will be improved. For example, the core image will be further reduced in size, the nano image will be expanded, and collaboration between containers will be optimised.
Better virtualisation of Linux servers
Linux servers can be virtualised better with Windows Server 2019. In addition, Linux servers can be secured with shielded VMs in Windows Server 2019. This is currently only possible with Windows servers. In general, Linux will connect better with Windows Server 2019.
Windows Subsystem for Linux
The Windows Subsystem for Linux enables the integration of a Linux distribution within a Windows installation. This allows Linux servers to be managed directly from Windows servers using Linux commands. Windows servers can thus also be administered via Linux commands. This improves cooperation between Linux and Windows enormously. Numerous distributions are to be added in Windows Server 2019.
Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)
Windows Server 2019 works directly with Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection. This is an advanced attack protection that works without signature files and can detect zero-day attacks and root kits. The service has cloud connectivity and reliably detects attacks that are not detected by virus scanners. ATP does not replace anti-malware scanners, but complements them.
Better encryption
In Windows Server 2019, data can be encrypted easier and better. Network traffic can also be encrypted better in Windows Server 2019. This also applies to virtual machines.
Storage migration wizard from numerous sources
The new Storage Migration Service helps migrate file servers and the data to Windows Server 2019. The wizard can also move data from NAS systems, works with Microsoft Azure, and can transfer data and permissions quickly and easily. The target can be servers running Windows Server 2019, and the source can be a whole range of devices. Migrating to Windows Server 2019 should be easier than ever for this reason.
Better integration with Microsoft Azure
Windows Server 2019 works more closely with Microsoft Azure. Data can be synchronised between Azure and Windows Server 2019, data can be backed up with Azure Backup, and file servers can be populated with data from the cloud via Azure Files. Clusters can be connected to Microsoft Azure, and the aforementioned Storage Migration Wizard can also import data from the cloud or back up data to the cloud.
New express updates
Windows 10 computers and current Windows servers, as well as Windows Server 2019, will benefit from the new Express Updates. Express Updates are much smaller than the current Cumulative Updates and Delta Updates, which only reload missing updates. Express updates work much like backups that build on each other and can be downloaded and installed much faster. It also significantly reduces the number of reboots.
