Windows Server 2019 is a special computer operating system made by Microsoft. Think of it like the brain for powerful computers called "servers." These servers are super important because they help many other computers work together, like in schools, businesses, or even for running websites and online games.

This version of Windows Server came out in October 2018. It was created after an earlier version called Windows Server 2016. Windows Server 2019 is also based on some of the same technology as Windows 100. One cool thing about it is that it's the only version of Windows Server that can run Microsoft Office 2019.

What is a Server?

A server is a powerful computer that provides services to other computers, called "clients." Imagine a big library. The server is like the main librarian who helps everyone find the books they need and keeps everything organized.

How Servers Help

Servers can do many jobs. They can store websites, so you can visit them online. They can also manage email for a company or store files so that many people can access them. Some servers even run online games!

Key Features of Windows Server 2019

Windows Server 2019 has many features that make it good for managing computer networks. It helps keep data safe and makes sure that programs run smoothly.

Security and Safety

One important part of Windows Server 2019 is its focus on security. It has tools to help protect the server from cyber threats and keep important information safe. This is like having a strong lock on a valuable treasure chest.

Cloud Connections
