Microsoft Windows Server 2016
Bring cloud speed to your data center
With the 2016 wave of hybrid data center solutions, Microsoft is bringing cloud-inspired technologies to the traditional data center. New and enhanced features can help you make the most of your existing resources while delivering innovation to your customers.
From the software-defined data center to the application platform, Windows Server 2016 offers new investments in cloud technology that can benefit your data center today.
