Windows Server 2025 Standard License

1. Introduction (소개)
Windows Server 2025 Standard is the latest generation of Microsoft’s server operating system, engineered to meet the demands of modern, AI-driven, and hybrid cloud environments. It provides a secure and high-performance foundation for business-critical applications, offering seamless integration with Azure Arc for unified management. Built with a focus on agility and advanced security, Windows Server 2025 introduces significant improvements in storage speed, virtualization scalability, and simplified update processes like Hotpatching.

2. Key Features List (주요 기능)
Hybrid Cloud & Management (하이브리드 및 관리)
Azure Arc-Enabled by Default: Simplifies the onboarding of on-premises servers to Azure for centralized management, monitoring, and security.
Hotpatching for Everyone: Allows security updates to be applied in memory without requiring a system reboot, minimizing downtime for Standard edition users (via Azure Arc).
Windows Admin Center (Next-Gen): A modernized, browser-based management interface with faster performance and enhanced server control.
Next-Generation Storage & Networking (스토리지 및 네트워크)
NVMe Storage Optimization: Optimized for high-speed NVMe drives, delivering up to 70% more IOPS performance compared to previous versions.
SMB over QUIC: Provides secure, VPN-free file sharing over the internet, now available in the Standard edition for broader accessibility.
