Today we\u2019re releasing another build of the Windows Server 2019 preview for Windows Insiders. As you may remember, Windows Server 2019 was announced a couple months ago and will be generally available later this year. With each release, we bring some new functionality and this time we\u2019re pleased to introduce you to System Insights.<\/p>\n

What is System Insights<\/h2>\n

As an IT admin, one of the responsibilities you have is to ensure systems continue to run smoothly. That is true for a number of activities and components, such as monitoring if a disk is going to run out of space, determining how much memory and processing a Hyper-V host is consuming so you can plan for new VMs, and many other examples.<\/p>\n

System Insights is a new feature available today in the Windows Server 2019 preview that brings local predictive analytics capabilities natively to Windows Server. These predictive capabilities, each backed by a machine-learning model, locally analyze Windows Server system data, such as performance counters and events, providing high-accuracy predictions that help you reduce the operational expenses associated with reactively managing your Windows Server instances.<\/p>\n

Because each of these capabilities runs locally, all your data is collected, stored, and analyzed directly on your Windows Server instance, allowing you to use predictive analytics capabilities without any cloud connectivity. In Windows Server 2019, System Insights introduces a set of capabilities focused on capacity forecasting, predicting future usage for compute, networking, and storage.<\/p>\n
