Product description
While cloud services are essential to digital transformation - enriching customer experiences through the latest artificial intelligence capabilities and scaling apps globally - many organizations also want to drive innovation at the edge, starting in their datacenters. Making this work requires a connected experience across the cloud and edge and a consistent set of experiences for security, containers, and management. Windows Server 2019 helps you grow your business - and extend operations to the cloud - from a position of strength. It maximizes your existing investments and builds on Windows Server security, app innovation, and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure capabilities to help you bridge your on-premises investments to the cloud.
