Software-defined networking (SDN) security is one of the top 10 networking features coming to Windows Server 2019, according to details shared by Microsoft this week.
SDN is a big part of Microsoft's product marketing for the forthcoming server release, despite the technology already being used in the current flagship Windows Server 2016 product. For instance, in its top-10 feature countdown list for Windows Server 2019, Microsoft earlier had suggested that SDN technology will enable so-called software-defined datacenters, which is considered to be another top networking feature.
This time, as its No. 4 top networking feature, Microsoft is emphasizing the new server's SDN security benefits, including automatic subnet encryption, improved firewall auditing, an expansion of access control lists (ACLs) to logical subnets, virtual network peering and IPv6 support.
