Innovative networking
Software-defined networking to automate with cloud-like efficiencyWith Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, users gain access to features such as:
Server virtualization
The server administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environments.Storage
With this feature in Windows Server 2016 Datacenter you can create flexible disk storage.Software-defined networking
SDN facilitates network management and enables programmatically efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance.Web application platforms
An application server can be either a software framework that provides a generalized approach to creating an application-server implementation or the server portion of a specific implementation instanceServer management
You can check the status, uptime, and monitoring for any new or recurring issues for the server and apps running on the serverServer automation
Server automation software performs a variety of server management tasks that would otherwise require the direct or manual attention of IT professionals.Information protection
Information Protection allows to control and manage business data separately from personal data on users' devices.Virtual desktops
Windows Server 2012 provides the infrastructure to implement session-based virtual desktops and virtual machine (VM)–based virtual desktops.Product specifications

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

At the forefront of server operating systems
No doubt, Windows has been at the forefront of server operating systems and one stunning example of
this is
Windows Server 2016. System administrators need not look any further when choosing a server OS and here
are
some of the best reasons why:
____________________
Nano Server
Nano Server is a very tiny version of Windows Server 2016, achieved by removing the GUI component of Windows Server 2016. It boasts a 92% smaller installation footprint than the regular installation option. It is far more secure, due to the fact that you have to add server roles administratively from outside Nano Server, therefore there is less room for attacks as compared to the GUI-version of Windows Server 2016. It has far fewer updates and is so small that it can be ported easily across servers, data centers and physical sites. Although meant to be managed remotely, a minimal local management UI called "Nano Server Recovery Console," has been included to let you perform initial configuration tasks.
Containers on Windows Server 2016 allow you to easily isolate applications and services. There are two different types of containers that are available.
Windows Server Container
_____
One is the Windows Server Container, which is
intended for
workloads where privacy is not a big issue and common resources can be shared.
Hyper-V Container
_____
The other is the Hyper-V Container.
It is
completely isolated from other containers and potentially from the host server. Hyper-V
containers
are appropriate for high-trust workloads where security is paramount.
Linux Secure Boot
Secure Boot is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification that protects a server's startup environment against boot-time malware and other unauthorized rootkits being run.
ReFS
The Resilient File System (ReFS) high-resiliency file system. If you have multiple virtual machines, dynamic drives can fill up quickly and the impact can be significant. Using the ReFS capability to fully allocate the storage within your drive, you can keep your host in good shape by using fixed size, fully allocated Hyper-V VMs.
Nested Virtualization
_____
Nested virtualization is the capability
of a
virtual machine to other host virtual machines within itself. Previously, this has been impossible
but
this feature is now finally available in Windows Server 2016. When a business wants to deploy
additional
Hyper-V hosts and needs to minimize hardware costs, it can make use of Nested Virtualization.
Hyper-V Hot-Add Virtual Hardware
_____
You can now add virtual hardware or adjust the
allocated RAM to a virtual machine, without having to first power down. Virtual hardware can be
“hot”-added while virtual machines are online and running.
Storage Spaces
Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2016 allows administrators to create flexible disk storage. It extends storage spaces to allow failover cluster nodes to use their local storage inside this cluster, avoiding the need for shared storage fabric.
Shielded Virtual Machines
The new Host Guardian Service server role allows for much greater degree of control over Hyper-V virtual machine access.
