Windows Nano Server

[IS_GURU]

Windows finally learning from Linux. No more reboots after updates! all in script language, no more GUI, much cheaper and no need for overpriced hardware for highly optimized server installation.

Well I have a vid to watch for the next hour. Thanks for posting, this went under my radar up untill now. 

The concept seems interesting though, I hate constantly having to reboot my Win2012R2 server because of updates. And better script support is nice, I'm not the biggest fan of the GUI heavy approach that Windows has even for the server side of things.

Damn they make that video looks like it's from 1995.  lol

Bring no reboot option to win 10 too..

[ObeseWalrus]

Good, maybe windows can be a little relevant in the server space now.

Linux (ubuntu etc) still needs to reboot for its consumer devices. So since thats the case Microsoft probably wont bring this to consumer windows.

It always has been relevant in enterprise server space. When people bring up server marketshare 98% of the time they are referring to public web servers. Not the actual servers businesses run internally. Because its not exactly easy to get marketshare statistics on private servers.

 

I do tech support for businesses for Avaya computer-telephony integration systems and 99% of the companies I work with run Windows Server 2012 R2.

 

They may also run Linux as well for one reason or another but Windows Server always has a presence.

As someone who works for a game server provider, Windows is dominate in the hundreds of machines we host, and the thousands of virtual machines. It would be interesting if updates could be run at any time, instead of having to schedule maintenance events to reboot the machine. Machine reboots are pretty painful  for just about everyone, sometimes, more so than the thing that the update is fixing.

every time I head the "cloud" business, I want to punch a kitten

for fck sake, it's a fcking server, a machine, it's a physical object - not some magic pixie dust  :angry:

[Doobeedoo]

Well that's good. I wonder how much market share will new server ver. gain.

And why they couldn't make Windows not require a reboot with W10 I thought I'd see that by now.

Because a server is usually considered to be on-premises.

This is great, I'll look into it more when I finally get around to upgrading servers/building servers.

that's highly irrelevant since datacenters house them by the truckloads

 

if this step is "the cloud", what the next one will be? call it "god" .. jeez!

I'm confused about how this fits in. I watched the presentation but not being a network admin didn't really understand a fair bit of it.

So lemme get this straight.

You have a main cluster running Nano with VM servers running Core then a node running Full Server and you use modules from the node over the network on Nano using Powershell?

It means host migration is quicker and less resource intensive as images on the VMs are lightweight, I got that.

What's confusing me is he said GUI admin is poison yet as far as I can tell you can't remote manage everything without the GUI module installed on a node which makes it pointless, why not just use the node and the GUI instead of scripting and remote managing?

Remember I'm coming at it purely from a client perspective but I just don't really see how it fits in.
