Introduction to Nano Server
Challenges customers face Cost Fewer Reboots | Smaller Server Images Security Smaller Attack Surface | Fewer 3 rd Party ComponentsDensity Fewer Resources Consumed | More Workload per Host
Our server journey Server roles/features Windows/ Windows NT Windows NT to Windows Server 2003 Server core Full server Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Server core Minimal server interface GUI Shell Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Monolithic Modular
Nano Server installation option Just enough OS Containers and modern applications Full GUI Specialized workloads Third-party applications RDS experience Server Core Lower maintenance server environment Existing VM workloads Nano Server Just Enough OS Provides higher density, reduced attack surface and servicing requirements Ideal for cloud inspired infrastructure Smaller image size, smaller attack surface, faster boot time Ideal for next generation app development Built for containers and cloud-native apps Full developer experience with Windows SDK and Visual Studio
Nano Server Cloud-ready when you are Zero-footprint model Server roles and optional features live outside of Nano Server. Standalone packages that install like applications.
