Are you ready for Windows Server 2025?
The Next Evolution in Server Operating Systems
Microsoft has announced the general availability of Windows Server 2025, released on November 1, 2024. Windows Server 2025 is the latest release of Microsoft's server operating system, crafted to address the evolving needs of a modern business. This version focuses on enhanced security, optimised performance, and seamless cloud integration, providing a solid foundation for hybrid environments through Azure Arc.
Azure Arc is a Microsoft solution that extends Azure's management and services to on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments. It enables your business to manage resources, deploy applications, and implement Azure services consistently across various infrastructures, all from a single Azure control plane. Azure Arc supports hybrid cloud scenarios, allowing your business to use Azure tools and capabilities wherever their data and workloads reside.
Why Upgrade to Windows Server 2025?

With major advancements—such as improved Active Directory, streamlined hotpatching enabled by Azure Arc, and optimised storage capabilities—Windows Server 2025 addresses your business demands while preparing for future growth.
Additionally, with Windows Server 2019 reaching end of support in October 2025 and Windows Server 2022 in October 2026, it’s essential to start planning for a transition to ensure your systems remain secure and fully supported.
