Recently, Microsoft has released Windows Server 2019, a brand new operating system, to users. This new OS is released to enhance application compatibility, allowing Windows Server 2012 R2 and Server 2016 users to upgrade their system more smoothly.

In the following, we will show you some features about this new system. See the Windows Server 2019 Preview.

Top 6 Features in Windows Server 2019

1. 1. GUI

For those companies that roll-out the Semi-Annual Channel versions of Windows Server 2016, it is very regretful to lack of a GUI for those releases is very regretful. But with the LTSC release, in addition to GUI-less ServerCore and Nano releases, IT Pros can get their desktop GUI of Windows Server.

2. 2. Project Honolulu

In Server 2019, there is a Project Honolulu server management tool. It is a central console, and users can use it to manage GUI and GUI-less Windows 2019, 2016 and 2012R2 servers in their environments easily.

3. 3. High Security

In the new OS, Microsoft brings more rigorous security. And it uses Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to provide preventative protection, detect attacks and zero-day exploits.

4. 4. Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI)

In the new release, a 3-year update for its Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI) platform is put forward by Microsoft.

5. 5. Smaller But More Efficient Containers

This new OS has a smaller, leaner ServerCore image. This can cut 50-80 percent virtual machine overhead, letting the organization lower costs and improve efficiencies in IT investments when they can get the same (or more) functionality in a significantly smaller image.

6. 6. Windows Subsystem on Linux

In Windows Server 2016, Microsoft has supported for Linux instances as virtual machines. And the Server 2019 makes huge headway since it includes an entire subsystem optimized for the operation of Linux systems on Windows Server.

MiniTool Keeps Server 2019 Running Well

Now, Server 2019 is only a preview version which means it is not getting ready for the production. Thus, don’t use it to hold important services. And use MiniTool software to keep your data safe.

1. MiniTool Partition Wizard Server, the best partition manager for servers, can help you to manage disk and partition, as well as copy the OS disk to another hard drive for data protection.
2. If you lost data after using Windows Server 2019 Preview, use MiniTool Power Data Recovery Business to get lost data back.
3. To safeguard disk data safety, we suggest using MiniTool ShadowMaker Businessto back up the server OS, disk, and some important files.

If you are interested in the new system, just upgrade to it. But pay attention to those things above.
