Windows Server 2016 features and functionality
Windows Server 2016 introduces several key features for virtualisation, security and hybrid management, based on a kernel derived from Windows 10. It offers Essentials, Standard and Datacenter editions, with an emphasis on Nano Server for lightweight deployments and enhanced Hyper-V.
- Hyper-V virtualisation: supports shielded virtual machines (VMs) for secure isolation from compromised hosts, with vTPM, disk encryption and secure Live Migration.
Gen 2 VMs with hot-add RAM/network, more memory (up to 24 TB) and virtual processors; nested virtualisation for advanced scenarios. - Security and storage: Windows Defender Antivirus integrated by default (without GUI), Storage Replica for synchronous/asynchronous disaster recovery, Central Storage QoS for shared policies.
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) for non-AD LDAP/SQL authentication. - Networking and containers: Software Load Balancing (SLB) in vSwitch for SDN/Hyper-V Network Virtualisation, first Windows containers with Docker support.
MultiPoint Services for RDS and OpenGL 4.4/OpenCL 1.1 support in remote sessions.
Windows Server 2016: available editions
Windows Server 2016 is available in three main editions, designed for different networking and virtualisation needs. When purchasing a licence from Mr Key Shop, it is essential to choose the correct version based on the number of users, devices and virtual machines you need to manage.
1 - Windows Server 2016 Essentials
- Designed for small businesses with up to 25 users/50 devices.
- Allows a single instance (physical or virtual).
- Does not require additional CALs within this limit, ideal for those who want a simple ‘all-inclusive’ solution.
2 - Windows Server 2016 Standard
- Suitable for SMEs with moderate virtualisation needs.
- Licence based on processor cores, with minimums per server.
- Includes virtualisation rights for up to 2 VMs (or Hyper-V containers) per full licence.
- Requires user/device CALs for client access.
3 - Windows Server 2016 Datacenter
- Designed for highly virtualised environments and data centres.
- Licensed per core, like Standard, but offers unlimited virtualisation (VMs and containers) on the licensed host. Ideal for infrastructures with many VMs, Hyper-V clusters, and private cloud scenarios.
- Server Core (minimal installation, more secure and efficient)
- Server with Desktop Experience (full GUI, easier to manage for those who prefer a graphical interface).

Frequently Asked Questions from Customers
Windows Server 2016 entered Mainstream Support on 11 January 2022 and will reach End of Life on 12 January 2027. From that date, Microsoft will no longer release security updates, bug fixes or technical support, which will have a direct impact on the security and compliance of your infrastructure.
What does this mean for your business in practical terms?
- After 12/01/2027, the system will be exposed to new vulnerabilities because it will no longer receive security patches.
- You may encounter compliance issues (GDPR, ISO, internal/external audits) when using an unsupported server system.
- Any ESU (Extended Security Updates) programme is only a temporary and costly solution: it serves to buy time for migration, it is not a long-term strategy.
For this reason, it is advisable to plan your upgrade to a supported version, such as Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025, as soon as possible, in order to:
- maintain a secure and up-to-date environment,
- take advantage of new features (advanced security, Azure integration, improved VM management),
- reduce the risk of unexpected downtime and production issues.
