Microsoft’s support for Windows Server 2003 ends July 14

Posted By: Zantek

As of July 14, 2015, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for any version of Windows Server 2003. If you are still running this server, you need to take steps now to plan your migration.

Why migrate?

Security patches help protect PCs from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Computer systems running unsupported software are exposed to elevated risk. The consequences could include loss of confidentiality, integrity, and or availability of data, system resources and business assets. You may also encounter compatibility problems since new software and hardware will likely not work with outdated servers.

Now what?

Many small and midsize businesses are debating if they should replace their on-premise servers or move to the cloud. In some cases, it makes good sense. We’ll give you an unbiased assessment of the cost and business implications of a cloud-based environment.
