Windows Server 2025 Standard is the current generation of Microsoft's server operating system, suited to small and mid-sized infrastructures. It fits the single server of a small company or a branch office: domain controller, file sharing, printing, DNS, DHCP and business applications. The Standard edition includes the right to run two Windows Server virtual machines on the licensed host. For heavier virtualisation, the Datacenter edition is the better match.
Main features
- Updated Active Directory: new functional levels and stronger identity protection.
- SMB over QUIC: secure access to file shares from outside the office network, without a VPN.
- Hyper-V: built-in virtualisation covering two Windows Server virtual machines.
- Improved storage: better performance on NVMe disks and simpler volume management.
- Windows Admin Center: monitoring and administration from a web browser.
