Windows Server 2016 Standard is a cloud-ready operating system designed to meet the needs of modern businesses. Offering new layers of security, powerful virtualization, and Azure-inspired innovation, it provides the robust platform needed to support the infrastructure and applications that drive your business.

As the middle-tier version in the Windows Server family, Windows Server 2016 Standard offers exceptional value, delivering many of the advanced features found in the more comprehensive Datacenter edition at a more accessible price point. Whether you’re running physical or virtualized environments, it’s an ideal solution for medium to large businesses that require secure, scalable, and flexible server management.

Why Choose Windows Server 2016 Standard?

1. Cloud-Ready for Modern Workloads
Easily manage both on-premises and cloud-based workloads with Windows Server 2016 Standard. It seamlessly integrates with Azure, making it simple to deploy, manage, and scale cloud-ready applications. You can also test and run Windows Server on Azure with pre-built images, giving you a flexible and efficient way to harness cloud power.

2. Ideal for Physical and Virtualized Environments
Whether you’re operating in a fully virtualized or physical environment, Windows Server 2016 Standard offers powerful capabilities, including server virtualization, web application platforms, virtual desktops, and more. Its versatility makes it perfect for businesses needing scalable access to multiple servers.

3. Advanced Security and Virtualization
Benefit from Hyper-V and Shielded Virtual Machines for enhanced virtualization capabilities. Protect your virtualized environments with new security features that prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity, even in the cloud. The Nano Server option further streamlines deployment and reduces your server’s attack surface, improving security and performance.

Key Features of Windows Server 2016 Standard:

• Shielded Virtual Machines: Protect your virtual environments with state-of-the-art encryption and enhanced security controls.
• Nano Server: Minimize overhead with a lightweight installation option that offers improved performance and security.

Flexible Installation Options:

1. Server Core (Recommended Installation)
The Server Core option offers a leaner, headless version of Windows Server with no graphical user interface (GUI), making it ideal for “headless” deployments managed remotely via PowerShell or other management tools. It includes all core server roles while reducing the system’s footprint and attack surface.

2. Server with Desktop Experience
For users who prefer a full graphical interface, the Server with Desktop Experience option provides a complete installation with a GUI, allowing for a more traditional, user-friendly experience.
