Are security threats, performance issues, and hybrid environments limiting your organization's ability to scale and innovate? Microsoft Windows Server 2025 secures and optimizes your infrastructure, ensuring future-readiness and agility. It builds on proven security and hybrid capabilities, introducing enhanced performance for compute-intensive workloads like ML and AI. Optimized for both cloud and on-premises use, it integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Azure Arc to maximize your hybrid, multicloud, and edge IT environments. Paired with HPE servers, Windows Server 2025 delivers optimized hardware-software integration, enhanced performance, and robust security. With the new digital media delivery, user experience is simplified while promoting sustainability by replacing physical media with digital downloads, reducing waste. This transition gives users faster software access and efficient license management, streamlining operations and supporting eco-friendly practices.

What is new supporting point:
Digital media delivery: HPE OEM with Windows Server 2025 Licenses are now streamlined and sustainable. Users can download installation media from My HPE Software Center.
Hotpatch: Security updates with no reboot (available for Azure Arc-enabled servers) and multi-layered security; secured-core server technology: Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and System Guard.
Active Directory (AD): LDAP support for TLS 1.3 helps remove obsolete cryptographic algorithms; Kerberos support for AES SHA-256/384; new domain controllers increased to 32K pages; added RootDSE mod.
WAC for hybrid and on-premises server management; containers extension in WAC; decreased size of WS core container base; simplify containerizing .NET, ASP.NET, Web Deploy, and MSI applications.
Hyper-V: GPU partitioning (GPU-P) allows to share a GPU across multiple VMs; support for live migration and failover clustering; VM scalability: support for 240 TB of RAM; support for 2048 LPs.
Storage migration services: Optimized NVMe; lower CPU utilization; software-defined storage enhancements: Resilient File System (ReFS)-optimized deduplication and compression.
