2. Background

Windows Server 2016 offers a new installation option: Nano Server. It has no drivers, roles or features installed by default and does not show up as an installation option in Windows Server 2016. Nano Server is the future of Windows Server, it is optimized for cloud and follow the minimum footprint principle where the installations image must be customized first. Other server roles will come consecutively and that is why the experts recommend you to start looking into Nano Server as as soon as possible. This means that you cannot interactively log onto a Nano Server and you need to manage it remotely.

Nano Server is a remotely administered server operating system optimized for private clouds and datacenters. It is similar to Windows Server in Server Core mode, but significantly smaller, has no local logon capability, and only supports 64-bit applications, tools, and agents. It takes up far less disk space, sets up significantly faster, and requires far fewer updates and restarts than Windows Server. When it does restart, it restarts much faster. The Nano Server installation option is available for Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2016.

Nano Server is ideal for a number of scenarios:

  • As a "compute" host for Hyper-V virtual machines, either in clusters or not
  • As a storage host for Scale-Out File Server
  • As a DNS server
  • As a web server running Internet Information Services (IIS)
  • As a host for applications that are developed using cloud application patterns and run in a container or virtual machine guest operating system
