According to an article by Ian Legro, Corporate Vice President, Azure Edge + Platform


Advanced multilayered security :

Windows Server 2025 stands out with a suite of security features designed to safeguard your data and infrastructure. Here are a few key capabilities: 

  • Active Directory (AD): The gold standard for identity and authentication only gets better with new security capabilities to help fortify your environment against evolving threats with greater scalability and improvements in protocols, encryption, hardening, and new cryptographic support. 
👀
  • File services/server message block (SMB) hardening: Windows Server 2025 includes SMB over QUIC to enable secure access to file shares over the internet. SMB security also adds hardened firewall defaults, brute force attack prevention, and protections for man in the middle attacks, relay attacks, and spoofing attacks. 
👀

  • Delegate Managed Service Accounts (dMSA): Unlike traditional service accounts, dMSAs don’t require manual password management since AD automatically takes care of it. With dMSAs, specific permissions can be delegated to access resources in the domain, which reduces security risks and provides better visibility and logs of service account activity. 

Cloud agility anywhere:

 Windows Server 2025 introduces several advanced hybrid cloud capabilities designed to enhance operational flexibility and onnectivity across various environments. Key features include:

  • Fast debugging with Azure Arc: With rapid patching, customers will experience fewer reboots and minimal interruption to operations. Hotpatching provides security updates for Azure Arc-enabled Windows Server 2025 Standard or Datacenter running on physical machines, virtual machines, or on-premises or multi-cloud servers. Hotpatching, currently in preview, will require a monthly subscription. Hot patching remains at no additional cost for virtual machines running Windows Server Datacenter Azure Edition.

  • Easy to join Azure Arc:Windows Server 2025 brings Azure’s powerful capabilities directly into your datacenter through Azure Arc. This integration simplifies the onboarding process to Azure’s hybrid features and enhances operational flexibility, allowing  to manage and secure hybrid and multicloud environments .     
  • Software-defined network (SDN) multisite features:The software-defined network (SDN) multisite features offer native L2 and L3 connectivity for seamless workload migration across various locations, coupled with unified network policy management. 
  • Unified network policy management: This capability allows for centralized management of network policies, making it easier to maintain consistent security and performance standards across your hybrid cloud environment.

AI, performance, and scale :

Windows Server 2025 is designed to handle the most demanding workloads, including AI and machine learning. Here are some key capabilities: 
  • With built-in support for GPU partitioning and the ability to process large data sets across distributed environments, Windows Server 2025 offers a high-performance platform for both traditional applications and advanced AI workloads with live migration and high availability. 
  • NVMe storage performance: Windows Server 2025 delivers up to 60% more storage IOPs performance compared to Windows Server 2022 on identical systems. (Based on 4K randread using Diskpsd 2.2 with Kioxia CM7 SSd).
  • Storage Spaces Direct and storage flexibility: Windows Server supports a wide range of storage solutions such as local, NAS, and SAN for decades and continues to this day. Windows Server 2025 delivers more storage innovation with Native ReFS deduplication and compression, thinly provisioned Storage Spaces, and Storage Replica Compression now available in all editions of Windows Server 2025.
  • Hyper-V performance and scale: Windows Server 2025 introduces massive performance and scalability improvements that come from Azure. Windows Server 2025 Hyper-V virtual machine maximums: -Maximum memory per VM: 240 Terabytes (10x previous) -Maximum virtual processors per VM: 2048 VPs  (~8.5x previous) -Requires Generation 2 VMs.

In my opinion,Windows Server 2025 is an excellent choice for organizations seeking a robust solution for virtualization, as well as for those looking to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning while maintaining high performance and scalability.
