Microsoft Windows Server 2025 is poised to deliver a secure, high-performance platform that caters to the evolving needs of modern infrastructure. With its public preview now available, companies can test and familiarise themselves with the new functionalities before the official launch later this year.
Here is a brief overview of the new features:
Advanced Security: With cyber threats on the rise, Windows Server 2025 introduces a suite of security innovations. Expect modern identity management through Active Directory, improved Server Message Block (SMB) protocols, and security updates facilitated by Azure Arc’s hot patching capabilities, which minimise system reboots.
Hybrid Innovation: Recognising the prevalence of hybrid cloud environments, Windows Server 2025 steps up its hybrid capabilities. It introduces software-defined networking across multiple sites, ensuring smooth connectivity for workloads, along with Azure Arc integration for flexible management tools.
AI, Performance, and Scale: For organisations looking to leverage AI, Windows Server 2025 provides a high-performance platform. It supports large-scale AI and machine learning workloads, making use of GPUs for parallel operations on vast data sets.
