CEO at Ruby Mills Ltd
Familiar platform has supported reliable on-premise file sharing and directory services
I am not currently using virtual machines, but I intend to switch over from VMware, and if I do, I may use the Shielded Virtual Machines feature. I am not using the Nano Server product, so I cannot comment on its impact on reducing server footprint in my organization. I am not working with Windows Containers for managing application deployment. I do not know about the integration capability of Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages with Microsoft Azure, as I do not use the cloud. I would give Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages a rating of eight on a scale from zero to ten.

Modern desktop delivery has become smoother and integration with current clients works reliably
In Switzerland, my clients, particularly in the banking sector, are cautious about moving data to the cloud due to legal concerns about US access. Therefore, some companies prefer keeping their data on premises to avoid compromising security.Currently, I primarily work on-premises, operating exclusively within shared hardware data centers and not utilizing cloud services such as Azure or AWS. We have experimented with Azure for some testing installations, but the overall costs associated with cloud services raise concerns. While we employ cloud solutions for backup, our infrastructure remains on-premises. For the product itself, Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages earns a solid rating of seven or eight from me because it is user-friendly to work with. My main frustration lies in the mandatory updates and newly introduced security features that complicate third-party software operations.
