MICROSOFT SERVER 2022 STANDARD

Windows Server 2022 Standard

Windows Server 2022 introduces advanced multilevel security, hybrid capabilities with Azure, and a flexible application platform. As part of this release, we are introducing protected core features to help safeguard hardware, firmware, and Windows Server operating system features from advanced security threats. The Secured-core server is based on technologies such as Windows Defender System Guard and Virtualization-based Security to minimize the risk of firmware vulnerabilities and advanced malware. The new release also provides secure connectivity that introduces several new features such as faster and safer encrypted HTTPS connections, industry standard SMB AES 256 encryption, and more.

Windows Server 2022 enhances hybrid server management with significantly improved VM management, an advanced event viewer, and many other new features in Windows Admin Center. Additionally, this version includes significant improvements to Windows containers, such as smaller image sizes for faster downloads, simplified network policy implementation, and containerization tools for .NET applications.

System Requirements for Windows Server 2022

This topic illustrates the minimum system requirements for Windows Server 2022. If the computer does not meet the minimum requirements, it will not be possible to correctly install the product. The actual requirements may vary based on the system configuration, as well as the applications and features selected for installation.

Unless otherwise specified, these minimum system requirements apply to all installation options (Server Core and Server with desktop experience) and to the Standard and Datacenter editions.

Important

The extremely diversified range of potential distributions makes it unrealistic to declare recommended system requirements applicable at a general level. Consult the documentation related to each server role you plan to deploy for further details on the resource needs for the specific server roles. To achieve optimal results, carry out test distributions to establish the appropriate system requirements for each specific deployment scenario.
