This new system will have a radical change in appearance, taking more the form of the new ones. Windows 10 updates giving the user a modern and functional experience..

Windows Server 2022 will have some features such as:

 

  • SMB improvements, this implies that the SMB 3.1.1 protocol has been extended with greater security and performance capabilities
  • Windows Server 2022 now supports AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites for all things SMB encryption
  • Windows Server 2022 supports AES-128 for down-level compatibility
  • In Windows Server 2022 we can now copy files in SMB with compression with the Robocopy, compress and Xcopy / compress commands, this if the destination computer supports SMB compression and the files that are being copied can be compressed
  • SMB Direct protocol over RMDA networks now supports AES-256 encryption
  • In this new version of Windows server 2022, Failover Clusters allow granular control of encryption and signing of storage communications at the node for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) and Storage Bus Layer (SBL)
  • AFS Tiering support preview, this allows SMS data migration to a server configured with Azure File Sync
  • Native management with Windows Admin Center
